Flood Risk
Bentleigh is a relatively low-risk flood suburb in Melbourne's bayside suburbs, located in the Elster Creek and Mordialloc Creek catchments. While not directly on a major river system, some properties may fall within localised flood overlays (LSIO) due to drainage lines and stormwater infrastructure constraints. Most of the suburb is at relatively low elevation with standard urban stormwater management applying.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with VIC planning scheme flood overlays (LSIO/SBO where applicable)
- •Stormwater management and detention basin requirements for new development
- •Potential requirements for finished floor levels above 1% AEP flood level in affected areas
- •Council consent and engineer certification for developments in or near overlay zones
Bushfire Risk

Future Development
Bentleigh is experiencing moderate development activity centred on the train station precinct and major retail nodes, reflecting Melbourne's middle-ring densification strategy. The suburb is positioned for steady residential intensification along major transport corridors and commercial streets, with council supporting apartment and townhouse development on previously single-residential lots. Infrastructure investment in active transport and public realm upgrades is supporting this transition from suburban to more walkable, mixed-use character.
