Flood Risk
Wollert is a developing suburb in outer northern Melbourne with low to moderate flood risk. Parts of the suburb are subject to the LSIO due to Merri Creek and tributary waterways; however, much of the area is on relatively elevated terrain. Historical flooding has been limited, and the primary flood risk relates to localised stormwater and creek inundation rather than major river events.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with LSIO requirements for buildings and works in designated flood-prone areas
- •Flood-compatible design and elevation standards where LSIO applies
- •Stormwater management and drainage design accordance with Darebin or Hume Council guidelines
- •Consideration of overland flow paths and local catchment constraints

The area transitions between urban development and rural/semi-rural land with eucalypt woodland and grassland, creating a typical interface risk profile.
