Flood Risk
Mildura has medium flood risk primarily due to its location on the Murray River. The Murray River is subject to significant flood events from upstream catchment flows, and properties within or near the floodplain are mapped under the LSIO. While major flooding events are less frequent than in some eastern Australian catchments, historical inundation and ongoing flood risk management make this a material consideration for property assessment.
Planning Controls
- •Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) applies to areas at risk of flooding from the Murray River and associated waterways
- •Flood risk assessment and mitigation measures required for new development in LSIO areas
- •Building design and floor levels must account for probable maximum flood (PMF) or relevant design flood event
Bushfire Risk
BAL Rating
BAL-19
Mildura is located in Victoria's northwestern region with moderate bushfire risk due to surrounding mallee vegetation and semi-arid landscape. Properties are likely to fall within BAL-19 or lower due to relatively open terrain and distance from dense bushland, though proximity to vegetated areas and prevailing wind patterns warrant consideration. Standard AS 3959 BAL-19 construction standards and vegetation management within the defendable space are recommended.
Crime & Safety
Mildura experiences crime rates consistent with regional Victorian centres of similar size and demographics. Property crimes and theft represent the largest categories, with assault and malicious damage also contributing significantly to incident numbers. Overall crime conditions remain relatively stable with no pronounced increasing or decreasing trend.

Future Development
Mildura exhibits moderate development activity centred on CBD revitalisation, fringe residential expansion in established suburbs like Irymple, and adaptive reuse of heritage irrigation precincts. Growth is constrained by water availability, regional economic reliance on viticulture and horticulture, and limited population growth pressure compared to major metropolitan areas, resulting in a conservative development pipeline dominated by modest residential subdivisions and heritage conservation projects.

Heritage & Conservation
Mildura's town centre and surrounding areas contain significant state and local heritage listings reflecting its late 19th and early 20th century development as an irrigation settlement. The town centre is subject to a heritage conservation area overlay with controls on external alterations and demolition. Properties within or adjacent to the overlay face development restrictions designed to preserve the town's character.
⚠️ Restrictions
- •Alteration of heritage facades and architectural features require planning approval
- •External works including extensions and new structures subject to heritage guidelines
- •Tree removal restrictions in heritage conservation overlay areas
- •Demolition of significant structures prohibited without Heritage Victoria approval
