Flood Risk
Traralgon experiences medium flood risk due to its location within the Latrobe River catchment and Gippsland regional waterways. Sections of the town fall under LSIO and are subject to VIC's flood-planning controls, particularly in low-lying and riparian areas. Historical flooding events and proximity to major drainage systems require compliance with strict floor-level and design standards.
Planning Controls
- •Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) applies to flood-prone areas; development must meet minimum floor levels and design standards
- •Gippsland regional flood study defines 1% AEP (100-year) and PMF extents; Latrobe River and tributary catchments affect northern/eastern sections
- •Floor levels must be set above the probable maximum flood (PMF) or minimum 0.5 m freeboard above the 1% AEP flood level
- •Building permits and planning scheme requirements mandate flood-risk assessment for properties in identified zones; earthworks restrictions apply
Bushfire Risk

The town sits within a bushfire-prone area with BAL-19 typical for residential properties on the urban fringe. Properties on elevated or less developed edges of town warrant closer assessment under the Bushfire Management Overlay.
