Flood Risk
Lara, located in the Geelong region, has properties affected by the Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO), primarily due to Stringybark Creek and local drainage patterns. The suburb experiences moderate flood risk in lower-lying areas, particularly near creek corridors and low-gradient zones. Councils typically require flood risk assessment for development in identified overlay areas to ensure compliance with Victoria's planning framework.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with LSIO requirements for filling, building design and flood-resistant construction
- •Consideration of 1% AEP (100-year) flood level and possible higher flood scenarios in development approvals
- •Possible requirement for flood impact assessment and mitigation measures for new development
- •Building construction standards may require elevated entries or flood-resistant materials in affected areas
