Flood Risk

Complete
medium RiskZone: Murray River flood zone

Berri is located on the Murray River in South Australia's Riverland region and experiences medium flood risk due to its proximity to the river. Historical flooding events and the river's variable flow patterns mean properties in low-lying and floodplain areas are subject to inundation risk. SA planning controls require assessment of flood risk for affected properties, though overlay mapping coverage in SA is less comprehensive than eastern states.

Planning Controls

  • SA Riverland Flood Study mapping and flood extent overlays applicable to Murray River floodplain properties
  • Minimum floor levels and building setback requirements from the Murray River and associated watercourses
  • Development assessment requiring flood risk certification for properties within mapped flood extents

BAL Rating

BAL-19

Vegetation Category: Mixed open woodland and irrigated agricultural areas with scattered native eucalypt vegetation

Berri, located in the Riverland region of South Australia, sits in a moderate bushfire risk zone due to its proximity to native vegetation along the Murray River and surrounding woodland. The area experiences typical Riverland conditions with irrigated horticulture interspersed with native scrubland, placing most properties in the BAL-19 range. Properties on the urban fringe or adjacent to uncleared vegetation may face elevated risk during high fire danger periods.
