Bushfire, flood and wind considerations in Cobbitty
Camden Council maintains a bush fire prone land map, certified in 2021, and parts of the Cobbitty area are mapped because of grassland and bushland nearby. Land along the Nepean River and Cobbitty Creek falls within the Nepean River floodplain study area. Whether your lot is affected is a property level question, answered by the planning certificate and the council's mapping tools. Wind classification under AS 4055 is also set per site, and on open ground it drives the bracing and tie down fixings we check at frame.
