Flood Risk
Toorak is an elevated, affluent suburb in Melbourne's inner southeast with limited flood risk. Although the Yarra River runs to its north and west, Toorak itself sits on high ground and is largely outside major flood-prone areas. A small portion of lower-lying land toward the river may fall within the LSIO, but the majority of the suburb is at minimal flood risk.
Planning Controls
- •Development in LSIO-affected areas requires flood-risk assessment and may mandate floor levels above the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF)
- •Building permits in overlay zones typically require evidence of no net increase in flood risk to surrounding properties
- •Mandatory consultation with Melbourne Water for drainage and stormwater management in low-lying portions
Bushfire Risk

Toorak is an affluent inner-suburban area of Melbourne with predominantly established residential development, low vegetation density, and minimal bushland proximity. Properties in Toorak typically fall outside the Bushfire Prone Area (BPA) and Bushfire Management Overlay (BMO), resulting in low bushfire risk. Standard building codes apply; bushfire-specific construction standards are not generally required.
