Flood Risk
Nagambie is located in the Goulburn River valley in central Victoria and faces moderate flood risk due to its proximity to the Goulburn River and associated waterways. Historical flooding events in the region, particularly in 1993 and 2010-2011, have affected properties in low-lying areas. Most flood-prone properties in Nagambie are likely covered by the Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) under Shepparton Planning Scheme, requiring compliance with flood-resistant building standards and elevation requirements.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with Shepparton Planning Scheme flood provisions and LSIO requirements
- •Floor level and finished ground level requirements for buildings in identified flood risk areas
- •Stormwater management and on-site detention standards to manage local drainage
- •Development must not increase flood risk to surrounding properties
Bushfire Risk
BAL Rating
BAL-29
Nagambie is located in a bushfire-prone area of Victoria with elevated risk due to its proximity to eucalyptus forests and grasslands characteristic of the Goulburn region. The suburb sits within the Bushfire Prone Area (BPA) and likely falls under Bushfire Management Overlay (BMO) provisions, typically requiring BAL-29 construction standards. Properties in Nagambie should be assessed individually for proximity to vegetation and slope, but the area warrants serious bushfire risk mitigation planning.
