Flood Risk
Lethbridge, VIC is located in the Barrabool Hills region with generally elevated topography and limited exposure to major flood-prone waterways. While the area has minor watercourses, it is not situated within a primary flood-affected catchment comparable to the Yarra, Werribee, or Maribyrnong systems closer to Melbourne. Flood risk is typically low, though localised drainage issues and overland flow should be assessed on a site-specific basis during development.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with VIC LSIO requirements where applicable (floor levels, flood-compatible design)
- •Consideration of local drainage and overland flow paths in planning permit applications
- •Consistency with relevant catchment management strategy and flood-related planning policies
