Flood Risk
Mickleham is situated in the northern growth corridor of Melbourne with generally moderate to elevated topography. While not directly adjacent to major flood-prone waterways such as the Yarra River or Merri Creek, some localised areas may fall within LSIO mapping due to minor creek systems and overland flow paths. Overall flood risk is low to very low for most properties, though individual site assessment is recommended for properties in mapped flood zones or low-lying areas.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with VIC Planning Scheme LSIO requirements for floor levels and building design in mapped areas
- •Consideration of overland flow paths and local drainage constraints in site assessment
- •Referral to Hume Regional Catchment Management Authority for flood risk advice on sensitive uses
