While the suburb is not in a major river floodplain, localised LSIO mapping exists for minor drainage lines and overland flow paths, particularly near creek corridors. Most properties are well-removed from significant watercourses and flood study areas.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with LSIO requirements for floor levels and building design in mapped areas
- •Stormwater management and overland flow path considerations under VIC planning scheme
- •Potential requirement for flood impact assessment in properties within LSIO boundaries
- •Council-specific flood provisions in the Monash Planning Scheme
