Flood Risk

Complete
medium RiskZone: Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) and Scattered Bay – coastal/estuarine flood risk zones

Lakes Entrance is a coastal town at the mouth of the Gippsland Lakes system in East Gippsland, VIC, and experiences medium flood risk primarily from estuarine/tidal inundation, storm surge, and occasional overflow from the connected lake system during high water events. Much of the town is mapped under the Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO), particularly areas at or near sea level and adjacent to the lakes. While not subject to major riverine flooding from inland catchments, the low-lying topography and exposure to coastal and estuarine flooding create notable flood-planning constraints for new development.

Planning Controls

  • Compliance with LSIO requirements for floor levels and building design in mapped flood-prone areas
  • Estuarine and coastal inundation risk assessment for properties near Gippsland Lakes foreshore
  • Storm surge and king tide vulnerability assessment for low-lying residential and commercial zones
  • Mandatory flood risk disclosure and consideration in planning permit applications

Bushfire Risk

Complete
moderate Risk

BAL Rating

BAL-19

Vegetation Category: Mixed native forest and coastal vegetation with scattered grassland; proximity to East Gippsland forests and waterways

Lakes Entrance is a coastal town in East Gippsland with moderate bushfire risk due to nearby native forest and vegetation communities, particularly to the north and west. The property would likely fall within a Bushfire Prone Area (BPA) or lower BAL rating zone given its coastal location, but proximity to forested ridges and the Great Otway region elevates risk above low-risk areas. Building design and defensible space standards per AS 3959 should be implemented.
