A building that rises with flood waters is disclosed comprising a building base for receiving a building thereon. The building base rises when a surrounding water level rises and falls when the surrounding water level subsides. The building includes an 5 anchoring arrangement for holding the building in position on the ground so that it does not move laterally or sideways across the ground when the water level rises, and a lifting and lowering arrangement extending between the anchoring arrangement and the building base. The lifting and lowering arrangement permits the building base to rise and fall whilst retaining the same horizontal position relative to the ground on which it is 10 mounted. The lifting and lowering arrangement may be positioned directly below the building base and is received within the perimeter of the building base and does not project out laterally beyond the building base. The building may further include a building superstructure mounted on the building base. Figure 2 for publication co It 0C C%4 cn
