Flood Risk
Mont Albert is a relatively elevated suburb in the City of Whitehorse, with low to very low exposure to major flood risk. While Elsterwick Creek and associated tributaries drain the broader area, most of Mont Albert sits above the flood-prone zones that affect lower-lying areas towards the Yarra River. Limited LSIO coverage applies to isolated pockets; most properties fall outside formal flood overlays.
Planning Controls
- •Mandatory flood risk assessment for properties within mapped LSIO areas
- •Minimum floor level requirements relative to the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF)
- •Consideration of stormwater management and overland flow paths in planning applications
- •Referral to Melbourne Water for developments near Elsterwick Creek tributary areas

Future Development
Mont Albert is experiencing moderate infill development typical of established inner-eastern Melbourne suburbs, driven by land scarcity and proximity to Box Hill Centre and transport. Activity consists primarily of incremental residential densification (townhouses, dual occupancies) rather than major mixed-use projects, with supporting local infrastructure upgrades. The area remains relatively low-density compared to nearby Box Hill and Nunawading, offering ongoing development opportunity within a residential character precinct.
