Flood Risk
Kew sits adjacent to the Yarra River, which has a well-documented flood history and is the primary flood risk driver for the suburb. Parts of Kew fall within Victoria's Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO), reflecting the 1% Annual Exceedance Probability (100-year) flood extent. Properties in or near the overlay are subject to planning controls and may require mitigation measures such as elevated construction or flood-resistant design.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with Victoria's Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) for 1% AEP flood events
- •Requirement for flood-compatible building design and elevated finished floor levels in affected areas
- •Mandatory planning permit for development in overlay zones; consideration of Yarra River flood mapping
- •Possible Section 173 Agreement requirements for buildings in flood-prone locations
Bushfire Risk
BAL Rating
BAL-LOW
Kew is an inner-eastern suburb of Melbourne with predominantly urban development, established gardens, and parkland rather than dense native vegetation or bushland interface. The suburb does not typically fall within Victoria's Bushfire Management Overlay (BMO) or Bushfire Prone Area (BPA) mapping due to its suburban character and distance from extensive bushland. Bushfire risk is low and standard building codes apply.
