What building in Woombye actually involves
Woombye maps three residential zones and no rural residential — unusual for a hinterland locality — and its landslide hazard tops out at High rather than Very High, unlike its neighbours.
A tighter zoning picture than the villages around it
Low Density Residential, Medium Density Residential and Limited Development (Landscape Residential) are mapped. There is no Rural Residential zone here, which means the very large-lot land that shapes Palmwoods and Nambour is not part of what "Woombye" covers. For a buyer, that narrows what the suburb name can mean.
Landslide, one band lower
Moderate and High Landslide Hazard Areas are mapped — not the Very High band that reaches Nambour and Palmwoods. It is still enough to make cut, fill, retaining and footings assessable on affected land, and a geotechnical report is still the normal starting point. But the top band is absent, and on sloping land that is a real difference.
Bushfire graded to Very High
Medium, High and Very High Potential Bushfire Intensity are all mapped. The Bushfire Attack Level a block attracts drives cladding, windows, decking and screening.
Flood and soils
Low, Moderate and High Flood Risk Areas are mapped, and acid sulfate soils in Area 2 only — land between 5m and 20m AHD.
What to ask a builder
Ask for the landslide band and the BAL rating. Ask which of the three zones applies, because Limited Development land is not a standard house block.

Questions about building in Woombye
What zones are mapped in Woombye?
Low Density Residential, Medium Density Residential and Limited Development (Landscape Residential). There is no Rural Residential zone, unlike the neighbouring hinterland localities.
Does Woombye have landslide hazard?
Moderate and High Landslide Hazard Areas are mapped — not the Very High band that reaches Nambour and Palmwoods. Still enough to make cut, fill, retaining and footings assessable.
Is Woombye bushfire prone?
Yes. Medium, High and Very High Potential Bushfire Intensity are all mapped, so an affected block is built to a Bushfire Attack Level.
Does Woombye have acid sulfate soils?
Area 2 only — land between 5m and 20m AHD. The lower Area 1 band does not reach here.
Is Woombye flood-affected?
Parts of it. Low, Moderate and High Flood Risk Areas are all mapped, and the band decides which provisions apply.
