Recorded flood extents — Maroochydore
No historic flood extent has been mapped for the Maroochydore area by the state or the council.
- Sunshine Coast Regional has been disaster-activated for 22 flood, storm or cyclone events since 2007 — most recently Queensland Southern Coast Severe Storms 24-25 November 2025.
- Nearest flood-warning gauge: Picnic Point Alert, Maroochy basin — 2 km from the centre of Maroochydore.
The disaster-activation history covers the whole Sunshine Coast council area. The recorded-extent lines above are tested against Maroochydore's own boundary — Sunshine Coast's suburb with the most activity here — because an extent reaching one suburb doesn't mean it reaches another.
