Flood Risk

Complete
low RiskZone: Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) - partial coverage

Bentleigh East sits in the Port Phillip municipality with low to very low flood risk overall. Parts of the suburb fall within the Land Subject to Inundation Overlay due to proximity to creek systems and Melbourne Water drainage corridors, but the area is predominantly elevated and does not experience regular or significant riverine flooding. Properties near drainage lines and low-lying areas warrant individual flood risk assessment through council.

Planning Controls

  • Compliance with Melbourne Water flood-related planning conditions for affected properties
  • Elevation and finished floor level requirements under VIC planning schemes where LSIO applies
  • Stormwater management and detention provisions under Port Phillip Planning Scheme
  • Building permit conditions requiring flood-resilient design in identified flood-prone areas
