What building in Hendra actually involves
Hendra is the one Brisbane inner-north suburb published here with no landslide hazard overlay — flat racecourse land, and the map reflects it — though the coastal controls still reach it.
Flat ground removes one whole assessment
Clayfield and Hamilton either side both carry a landslide hazard overlay, which makes cut, fill, retaining and footing design assessable on affected land and usually brings a geotechnical report. Hendra carries none. On a sloping block that overlay is often the largest single variable in a site cost, so its absence is worth knowing rather than assuming.
No bushfire either
No bushfire overlay is mapped across the suburb.
What does apply: water, in three forms
An overland flow flood planning area, creek and waterway flood planning areas, the state's erosion prone area and a storm tide hazard area are all mapped. Flat land near a tidal river is exactly where water controls concentrate, and they are assessed separately from one another.
Two zones
General residential and Emerging communities, plus biodiversity areas.
What to ask a builder
Ask which of the water controls touch the block, by name. Ask what habitable floor level follows — on flat ground that is the number that shapes the slab.

Questions about building in Hendra
Does Hendra have landslide hazard?
No landslide hazard overlay is mapped — unlike Clayfield and Hamilton either side of it. On sloping land that overlay is often the largest single site-cost variable, so its absence matters.
Is Hendra bushfire prone?
No bushfire overlay is mapped across the suburb.
What flood mapping applies?
An overland flow flood planning area and creek and waterway flood planning areas, plus the state's erosion prone area and a storm tide hazard area. All four are assessed separately.
What zones are mapped?
General residential and Emerging communities. Emerging communities land is held for future urban purposes rather than being a standard house block.
Which council do I lodge with?
Brisbane City Council, under Brisbane City Plan 2014.
