3 Pelican Street, Victoria Point QLD 4165

This lot was labelled by Redland City Council as having a flood overlay and was NOT permitted to be subdivided. On auction day this was made very clear to all who attended the auction, including the buyers who are now the current owners.
Council should keep it's ruling and it should NOT be allowed to be subdivided as it does flood and if divided with a raise in soil level would cause flooding to the next door block, no. 1. It would also cause water to come up the street more and across the road to the house on the corner of Base St and Pelican St. (the yellowish house). The opposite side of the street is at a lower level than the No. 3 side is.
No. 1 Base also has a partial flood overlay.
If this goes ahead will Council foot the bill for damage to other properties that may be affected in the event of flooding.
Flooding has occurred several times in Pelican St and I have seen it come more than 3/4 of the way up Pelican St.
There has already been two blocks divided in the St and with their soil level raised it already causes excess water to go over the other side of Pelican St and up Pelican St.
I therefore request Council to do thorough research with the outcome of denying no. 3 to be divided.
