Flood Risk
Charlemont is located in Victoria's western region and is not situated within a major flood-prone catchment or known high-risk floodplain. While Victoria's LSIO and Bushfire Overlay typically apply across regional areas, Charlemont's elevation and distance from significant waterways suggest low flood risk. Local site-specific flood studies should be consulted for individual properties, particularly those near minor drainage lines.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with VIC planning scheme flood-related overlays if applicable to specific properties
- •Consideration of local drainage and minor waterway flooding risks in planning assessments
- •Potential requirements for finished floor levels and flood-resilient design in elevated risk areas
Bushfire Risk
BAL Rating

Proximity to substantial native vegetation and topographic exposure to wind-driven ember and flame fronts create significant seasonal risk, particularly during extreme fire weather conditions.
