Flood Risk
Red Cliffs is located in the Murray River floodplain in north-western Victoria and experiences significant flood risk. The township sits within mapped flood extents and is subject to LSIO planning controls. Historical flooding events and the proximity to the Murray River mean properties in this area face regular inundation risk, particularly during high-flow events.
Planning Controls
- •Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) applies to areas within the 1% AEP (100-year) flood extent of the Murray River
- •Filling and floor level requirements: habitable buildings typically required to be set above the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) or defined flood level
- •Development in LSIO areas requires consideration of flood risk and may necessitate mitigation measures such as elevated structures or flood-resistant design
- •Referral to relevant water authority (Murray Darling Basin Authority / Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority) for planning applications in flood-prone areas
Bushfire Risk

The suburb sits in a semi-arid landscape with dispersed settlement patterns and historically lower fuel loads than temperate forests, but remains subject to Victoria's Bushfire Prone Area mapping. Properties here typically require BAL-19 construction standards and should maintain adequate vegetation clearance and access provisions.
