Flood Risk
Dennington is a rural locality in south-western Victoria near Warrnambool with low to moderate flood risk primarily associated with the Hopkins River catchment and local drainage. The Land Subject to Inundation Overlay may affect some properties in proximity to watercourses, requiring flood-aware site planning. Most of the locality is on elevated terrain with limited historical flood impact, though properties near the Hopkins River or low-lying areas warrant individual flood risk assessment.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with Moyne Shire Planning Scheme flood mapping and LSIO requirements
- •Flood Risk Management Overlay (FRMO) may apply to properties near Hopkins River and drainage lines
- •Development must demonstrate appropriate floor levels and flood-compatible design where LSIO applies
