Flood Risk
Fyansford is located within the Barwon River floodplain in Geelong's western region and is subject to the Victorian Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO). Historical flooding events and proximity to the Barwon River mean medium flood risk applies; properties in lower-lying areas are particularly vulnerable. Planning controls mandate flood-resistant design and elevated floor levels for new development.
Planning Controls
- •Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) applies; developments must meet minimum floor levels and flood-compatible design standards
- •Barwon River regional flood study governs 1% AEP (100-year) flood extent and depths
- •Development Contributions Plan requirements for flood mitigation infrastructure
- •Mandatory consultation with local floodplain management authority; flood risk assessment required for new works
