Flood Risk
Oak Park is located within the Maribyrnong River catchment in Melbourne's western suburbs and is subject to the Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO). While the suburb has moderate elevation in most areas, portions near the Maribyrnong River corridor and tributary drainage lines are mapped in the LSIO, indicating potential inundation during major flood events. Most of Oak Park experiences low to moderate flood risk, with higher risk concentrated in lower-lying areas adjacent to waterways.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with VIC LSIO requirements for habitable floor levels and building design in flood-affected areas
- •Mandatory flood risk assessment and mitigation measures for development in mapped flood zones
- •Restrictions on fill and earthworks that may impede flood flow or increase upstream flood risk
- •Requirements for development to maintain or improve flood conveyance and storage capacity
Bushfire Risk
BAL Rating
BAL-LOW
Oak Park is a western suburban locality in Melbourne's outer metropolitan area with predominantly low bushfire risk. The suburb is characterised by urban and semi-urban development with dispersed vegetation rather than continuous bushland, placing most properties outside high-risk BMO/BPA zones. Standard building practices and basic vegetation management are typically sufficient for this area.
