Weston Creek district: bushfire prone area and flood
Weston Creek is one of the ACT’s districts, the areas the Territory’s land is administered by. The ACT has no councils, so its pages are by district. What a WattleAddr Property report can tell you about an address here, and what no register covers.
Bushfire Prone Area and flood model in Weston Creek
What the government maps show. Not a risk rating.
Bushfire Prone Area
- 962 on the map at the address point
- 335 on part of the block only
- 19 at the edge only
- 8,992 not on the map
1,297 of 10,308 addresses (12.6%) are on a block at least partly in the Bushfire Prone Area on the ACT Emergency Services Agency’s map, mostly the buffer, the outer edge of the Bushfire Prone Area. By the most severe category on the block: Category 1 25; Category 2 19; the buffer 1,253. Every category counts, 1 to 3, and the buffer. The building rules also treat non-urban land as bushfire-prone whatever this map shows (Building (General) Regulation 2008, s 44). See ACTmapi. Bushfire Prone Area by district, on our map.

By the most severe category on the block: Category 1 25; Category 2 19; the buffer 1,253. On 1,034 of 8,380 blocks · 335 on part of the block only · 19 touch only the edge.

1% AEP flood model
- 3 on the map at the address point
- 31 on part of the block only
- 40 at the edge only
- 10,234 outside the model: not established either way
34 addresses on a block at least partly in the modelled extent; elsewhere not established. The model covers the catchments of nine flood studies, only part of the Territory, and gives no depth, and nothing about overland flow, burst pipes or overflowing lakes and dams. So this is a count, not a share: elsewhere flooding is not established either way. See ACTmapi. 1% AEP flood model by district, on our map.
How this is counted
34 addresses on a block at least partly in the modelled extent; elsewhere not established. 31 of them are on a block only partly in it. The model covers the catchments of nine flood studies, only part of the Territory, and gives no depth, and nothing about overland flow, burst pipes or overflowing lakes and dams. So this is a count, not a share: elsewhere flooding is not established either way.

How these are counted
Counted from every address in our ACT build (each ACT address register entry whose block could be identified) in the district, in build 45 of 15 September 2026. The Bushfire Prone Area share is out of the addresses where the map was read. The flood model is given as a count, not a share: it covers the catchments of nine flood studies, only part of the Territory, and elsewhere flooding is not established. Addresses, not homes: a building of units is many addresses on one block, and a vacant block is one. “Part of the block” counts land, not buildings: the mapped area may not reach the house. A block the map touches only at the edge, within the map’s accuracy, is shown as “Check” in a report and is counted in the base but not as on the map. Each address is counted in the district its address point is in. These are counts of what the government maps show, by our method; they are not a risk rating. See why unmapped is not clear.

What the report covers for an address in Weston Creek
The block the ACT address register assigns the address to, with its title reference and area as ACTmapi records them; the Territory Plan 2023 zone and overlays; the ACT Heritage Register map; the Bushfire Prone Area and its hazard category; and the 1% AEP riverine flood model extent, outside which flooding is stated as not established. Each carries the register it came from and the date it was read.
What no open register holds: the Crown lease and what is registered on the title, what the block was last sold for, and its land value (the ACT publishes unimproved values without a stated licence, so we do not use them). The report lists each as a gap and names who holds the answer. The ACT has no planning certificate: the contract's lease conveyancing inquiry documents say what the ACT Government holds for the block.
