Flood Risk
Hampton is located in the Bayside municipality and experiences medium flood risk primarily from storm surge, tidal inundation, and local drainage issues related to its low-lying coastal position near Port Phillip Bay. The LSIO applies to flood-susceptible areas, requiring careful site assessment and compliance with planning controls. Historical events and proximity to the bay make flood risk assessment essential for property development and insurance considerations.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with LSIO requirements for new buildings and extensions
- •Flood-sensitive use restrictions in designated flood-prone areas
- •Mandatory flood emergency management plans for vulnerable uses
- •Consideration of Bayside Council's flood risk mapping and drainage infrastructure constraints

While situated in the general Melbourne metropolitan area, it does not typically fall within a designated Bushfire Prone Area (BPA) or require Bushfire Management Overlay (BMO) provisions. Bushfire risk is generally low due to urban density, limited adjacent bushland, and distance from major forested areas.
