Flood Risk
Charlemont is an inland suburb in the Grampians region of western Victoria with low to very low flood risk from major river systems.

Standard VIC planning overlay compliance is typically sufficient.
Planning Controls

- •Flood risk assessment may be required for development in mapped LSIO areas
- •Elevation and design standards to manage overland flow and local drainage
- •Consultation with local council on waterway setbacks and riparian management
