Most residential properties away from the creek are outside mapped flood overlays, though local drainage and secondary waterways should be verified at point-of-sale.
Planning Controls
- •LSIO applies to properties within the Merri Creek flood extent; floor level controls typically required for new development
- •Compliance with VIC Planning Scheme Clause 44.04 (LSIO) requiring assessment against 1% AEP (100-year) flood level
- •Storm water management and detention requirements for developments in or near waterway corridors
- •Possible Section 173 Agreement obligations for properties in mapped inundation areas
