Flood Risk
Mount Duneed is located in the Surf Coast region of Victoria and is situated at relatively elevated terrain away from major watercourses. While the area drains toward coastal systems and may have localized drainage constraints, it is not within a known major flood study catchment. Limited LSIO coverage may apply to isolated flood-prone pockets, but the overall flood risk for most properties is low to very low.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with Victoria's Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) if applicable to specific properties
- •Flood risk assessment and mitigation measures for development in mapped flood-prone areas
- •Floor level requirements and finished ground level restrictions for new buildings in flood-affected zones
- •Referral to relevant floodplain management authority (Corangamite CMA) for planning applications in flood-sensitive areas
