Flood Risk
Truganina, located in western Melbourne (Wyndham council), has medium flood risk due to its position within the Smoking Gun Creek catchment and proximity to low-lying areas subject to inundation. Parts of the suburb fall within the Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO), reflecting historical and modelled flood extents. Planning controls require careful attention to floor levels and stormwater management for properties in the overlay.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with VIC LSIO requirements for floor levels and building design
- •Stormwater management and detention basin standards for Wyndham council area
- •Fill and earthworks limitations in flood-prone areas
- •Referral to relevant water authority (Melbourne Water) for planning permits in overlay areas
