Potts Point (2011) sits within the City of Sydney local government area, and like much of greater Sydney it contains pockets of varying flood exposure. NSW flood maps distinguish between high-probability and low-probability zones, and the rating shown here reflects the most recent publicly available data from the NSW Government. Use it as a starting point. Always obtain a formal flood report before exchanging contracts.
A flood-risk rating on its own does not tell you whether a specific property is flood prone. It tells you about the suburb as a whole. Always request a Section 10.7 certificate from City of Sydney Council before exchange, as it will disclose any specific flood or overland flow constraints on the property title. Insurers also use postcode-level flood data when pricing premiums, so even low-risk suburbs can attract higher excess in certain streets.
