Flooding occurred in many areas of Queensland during late December 2010 and early January 2011, with three quarters of the state declared a disaster zone. FLOOD OF IDEAS is an initiative of Healthy Waterways and The Edge, State Library of Queensland to gather diverse and creative ideas from the community on how we can better plan for and respond to future floods.

Design for Flood-Prone Houses

Australian Home Design / Anstey Designer Homes submitted this idea on March 14, 2011

Design for flood-prone houses with examples built in NSW (with or without refuge). Design accommodates impact of still water or a moving floodway, is resistant to lateral forces and uses flood- compatible materials.
