Flood Risk

Complete
medium RiskZone: Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO); Yarra River and Moonee Ponds Creek flood study areas

Brunswick is located in inner Melbourne with exposure to both Yarra River and Moonee Ponds Creek flood risk. Parts of the suburb fall within the LSIO, particularly near creek corridors and lower-lying areas, reflecting historical flooding events and modelled inundation extents. Properties outside the formal overlay may still experience local stormwater flooding during extreme rainfall events.

Planning Controls

  • Mandatory flood-risk assessment for developments in LSIO areas
  • Floor level requirements relative to probable maximum flood (PMF) or 1% AEP flood level
  • Restrictions on basement construction and underground car parks in high-risk zones
  • Stormwater management and detention requirements to mitigate local flooding
