While elevated compared to inner-city areas, some properties near tributary drainage lines and the broader floodplain may fall within the LSIO. Overall flood risk is low to moderate, with controls concentrated in identified overlay zones rather than widespread inundation risk.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with VIC planning scheme LSIO requirements for flood-prone land
- •Floor level and finished ground level controls where LSIO applies
- •Stormwater management and drainage design standards under VIC Building Code
