Flood Risk
Harrisdale is a low-lying inland suburb in Perth's eastern corridor with moderate elevation and no major riverine flood overlays mapped by the City of Armadale. While the area has drainage infrastructure associated with small local watercourses and seasonal stormwater flows, there are no known major flood-prone catchments or historical significant inundation events comparable to eastern Australian flood-risk areas. Flood risk is managed primarily through standard stormwater management and local council planning controls rather than formal flood study overlays.
Planning Controls
- •WA Planning Commission Flood Risk Management Guidelines apply to development near watercourses
- •Local Water Management Strategy (LWMS) compliance for stormwater management
- •Armadale City Council local planning policies regarding drainage and flood-prone land
- •Building Code of Australia (BCA) provisions for flood resilience where applicable
