Flood Risk
Warragul is located inland in the Gippsland region and experiences low to localised flood risk. While the town is situated above the primary floodplain of the Tarwin River system, some properties near watercourse corridors may fall within LSIO mapping. Historical flooding events in Gippsland have generally been localised and confined to riparian areas rather than widespread inundation across the broader township.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with Gippsland Regional Floodplain Management Strategy requirements
- •Site-specific flood assessment may be required for properties in mapped LSIO areas near Tarwin River and tributaries
- •Elevated floor levels and flood-resilient design standards for developments in identified flood-prone zones
- •Coordination with Gippsland Counci and Gippsland Water authority on drainage and stormwater management
