Flood Risk
Clifton Springs is a coastal suburb in the City of Greater Geelong with low to moderate flood risk, primarily from localised stormwater flooding and overland flow rather than major river inundation. The Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) applies to portions of the suburb, particularly in lower-lying areas and near surface water corridors. Properties outside mapped LSIO areas typically have minimal flood risk, though standard stormwater management practices apply across the precinct.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with Victoria's Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) for properties in mapped flood-prone areas
- •Flood-compatible building design and elevated floor levels where LSIO applies
- •Council referral to Victoria State Emergency Service (SES) for developments in overlay areas
- •Stormwater management and detention basin requirements under Victorian planning scheme
