Flood Risk
Marysville, located in the Upper Yarra catchment in Victoria's mountain regions, is highly susceptible to flooding. The town has experienced significant flood events historically (notably 2009 and earlier events), and properties within and near the township are likely subject to the Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) due to proximity to the Yarra River and tributary waterways. Elevated flood risk requires careful assessment of individual property locations and adherence to VIC planning scheme flood mitigation controls.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with VIC planning scheme LSIO requirements for flood-compatible building design and floor levels
- •Mandatory flood risk assessment and mitigation measures for development in identified inundation areas
- •Restricted use of basements and below-ground structures in flood-prone zones
- •Requirement for appropriate freeboard and finished floor levels above predicted flood events
Bushfire Risk
BAL Rating
BAL-29
Marysville is located in a high-risk bushfire zone within Victoria's Central Highlands, surrounded by extensive native forest vegetation and situated on elevated terrain. The suburb falls within the Bushfire Prone Area (BPA) and is typically mapped under the Bushfire Management Overlay (BMO). Properties here face extreme bushfire risk, particularly during severe fire weather conditions, and must comply with BAL-29 construction standards under AS 3959.
