The suburb experiences medium flood risk from both riverine flooding (Yarra River) and localised stormwater inundation during high-rainfall events. Properties in this area require careful assessment of flood risk and compliance with planning controls before development.
Planning Controls
- •Development must comply with LSIO provisions requiring flood-compatible design and floor levels above the 1% AEP flood level
- •Mandatory flood risk assessment for new buildings and extensions in LSIO areas
- •Restrictions on certain uses (e.g. vulnerable facilities) without demonstration of flood safety
- •Requirement for appropriate site drainage and stormwater management to minimise runoff impacts
