Ipswich, west of Brisbane, Queensland is prone to flooding when there is a major rainfall event.
Ipswich has undergone extensive flooding - firstly in 1974, when Brisbane also went under, and again in January 2011. In the most recent event of 2011, the massive Wivenhoe Dam west of Ipswich exceeded 180% capacity, meaning water had to released into the Brisbane River large volumes, equivalent to several Sydney Harbours. This, of course, had a flow-on effect for the Bremer River in Ipswich.
In major rainfall events such as these, lower areas of Ipswich are most definitely under threat, but even people who are not in the usual low-lying regions should take whatever precautions they can. All the water coming down from the Brisbane Valley and Lockyer Valley has to go somewhere, and the Bremer River in Ipswich is easily swollen.

A flood path is the route that floodwaters take as they flow across land during a flood event. It typically follows natural valleys, streams, or rivers, and can also include low-lying areas that are prone to flooding. Understanding flood paths is important for predicting and managing flood risk.
It depends where you live. Go check the weather for your area.
No, a floodplain is the low-lying area along a river or stream that is prone to flooding. Flood control refers to measures taken to prevent or reduce the impact of flooding, such as building levees or dams or implementing land use regulations in flood-prone areas.
Yes, a 100-year flood is more catastrophic than a 50-year flood. The term "100-year flood" refers to a flood event that has a 1% chance of occurring in any given year, while a "50-year flood" has a 2% chance of occurring in any given year. Therefore, a 100-year flood is rarer and typically results in more severe consequences in terms of damage and impact than a 50-year flood.
