Flood Risk
St Kilda West is located on the lower Yarra River floodplain and is likely to be covered by the Victorian Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO). The suburb faces moderate flood risk from Yarra River inundation during high rainfall events, particularly in low-lying areas near the river. Planning controls require elevated floor levels and flood-compatible design for new development.
Planning Controls
- •Mandatory flood risk assessment for new buildings or substantial modifications in LSIO areas
- •Floor levels must be set above the 1% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) flood level plus freeboard
- •Restrictions on basement development and underground car parks in designated flood zones
- •Notification of flood risk information to prospective purchasers
