Flood Risk
Yarragon is located in the Gippsland region of VIC on higher terrain with limited major waterway exposure. While some localised low-lying areas may fall within LSIO or be subject to minor creek flooding during extreme rainfall, the suburb is not within a major flood-study catchment (unlike the Yarra, Murrumbidgee or Hawkesbury-Nepean corridors). Flood risk is generally low but site-specific assessment is warranted for properties in valley areas.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with VIC Planning Scheme flood-related provisions and LSIO requirements where applicable
- •Consideration of Gippsland regional flood studies and local drainage patterns
- •Elevation and fill requirements for new development in identified flood-prone pockets
- •Stormwater management and drainage design to AS/NZS 3500.3 standards
