Flood Risk
Murrumbeena is located in the Dandenong Creek catchment in Melbourne's south-east and has low to moderate flood risk. Portions of the suburb, particularly near the creek's floodplain corridor, are mapped under the Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO). While historically not subject to major inundation events comparable to northern Victorian or NSW catchments, properties near waterways should verify their specific overlay status.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with VIC Building Regulations for properties in LSIO areas
- •Floor level requirements and finished ground level controls under Planning Scheme
- •Stormwater management and detention basin design for new development
- •Referral to Melbourne Water for proposed works in or near Dandenong Creek floodplain

Heritage & Conservation
Murrumbeena is a post-war suburban residential area in Melbourne's outer southeast with limited individual heritage listings. The suburb is primarily characterised by mid-20th century housing stock and does not fall within a formal heritage conservation overlay or character residential area at the local level. While nearby Glen Waverley has some heritage significance, Murrumbeena itself lacks the heritage concentration typical of inner-city or historic town centre locations.
