Flood Risk
Warragul is located in the Gippsland region and sits within the Thomson River catchment, which has a documented flood risk history. Portions of the suburb, particularly low-lying areas adjacent to the Thomson River and tributary systems, are subject to the Victorian Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO). While not all properties are affected, those within the overlay face medium flood risk and must comply with specific planning and building standards.
Planning Controls
- •Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) applies to flood-prone areas; development must demonstrate flood immunity or appropriate mitigation
- •Flood-compatible design and elevated habitable floor levels required in overlay areas
- •Referral to floodplain management authority (Gippsland Catchment Management Authority) for planning applications in affected zones
- •VicSmart exemptions may not apply to land within LSIO; full planning permit required
