Flood Risk
Hastings, located on Western Port Bay in Victoria's Mornington Peninsula, is subject to the Land Subject to Inundation Overlay due to its coastal and low-lying geography. The township experiences risk from both storm surge and local drainage flooding during high rainfall events. Properties within the LSIO are subject to standard VIC flood planning controls requiring appropriate floor levels and flood-resistant construction.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with LSIO requirements for development in flood-prone areas
- •Mandatory flood risk assessment and mitigation measures for new buildings
- •Finished floor levels must be set above the probable maximum flood level
- •Exemptions may apply for minor works, but planning permits generally required in overlay areas
Bushfire Risk
BAL Rating
BAL-19
Hastings is a coastal fringe suburb in the Mornington Peninsula with moderate bushfire risk due to proximity to vegetation, hilly terrain, and its semi-rural character. Properties are likely to fall within a Bushfire Prone Area (BPA) and typically attract BAL-19 construction standards. While not in a high-risk zone like mountain or heavily forested areas, the suburb's mixed vegetation and topography warrant standard bushfire mitigation measures and ember attack preparation.

Future Development
Hastings shows moderate residential infill and subdivision activity typical of regional Mornington Peninsula coastal towns, with waterfront renewal aspirations and incremental infrastructure upgrades. Development pressure remains modest compared to metropolitan areas, focused on servicing population growth from Melbourne-bound migration and holiday home demand. Port and industrial land-use planning represents longer-term strategic opportunity rather than near-term development activity.
