Flood Risk
Heathmont is an elevated inland suburb in Melbourne's eastern hills with generally low flood risk. However, portions of the suburb fall within the Yarra River catchment and may be subject to the LSIO where mapped flood extents apply, particularly near tributary valleys. Most of the suburb sits above flood-prone areas, but properties in low-lying pockets should confirm their overlay status with Maroondah City Council.
Planning Controls
- •Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) applies to properties within mapped flood extents
- •Flood risk assessment and mitigation measures required for development in overlay areas
- •Building design standards to manage flood impacts (elevated structures, flood-resistant materials)
- •Referral to Melbourne Water for planning permits affecting waterways and flood-prone land

Heathmont is located in the Dandenong Ranges fringe-urban area of Victoria and is typically mapped within the Bushfire Prone Area (BPA) and Bushfire Management Overlay (BMO). The suburb sits in heavily vegetated, hilly terrain with native forest vegetation in close proximity to residential properties, resulting in high bushfire risk exposure. Properties in this area are likely to require BAL-29 or higher construction standards under AS 3959.

Heritage & Conservation

While the railway station and scattered early residential buildings have local heritage interest, the suburb lacks a formal heritage conservation overlay or significant state heritage listings. Most properties are unrestricted by heritage controls.
