Flood Risk
Point Cook is located in a low-lying coastal area of Melbourne's western suburbs with proximity to the Werribee River estuary and Port Phillip Bay. The suburb is subject to VIC's Land Subject to Inundation Overlay due to historical flooding vulnerability and tidal/storm surge risk, requiring planning controls on new development and redevelopment.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with VicSmart or planning permit requirements for development in LSIO areas
- •Flood-resistant design standards and elevated floor levels for habitable buildings
- •Stormwater management and drainage considerations for low-lying coastal areas
- •Referral to relevant water authority (Melbourne Water) for flood risk assessment
