Flood Risk
Berwick, located in the outer southeastern suburbs of Melbourne, lies within the Dandenong Creek and associated tributary catchments. The suburb has moderate flood risk primarily due to LSIO coverage affecting lower-lying areas, with historical flood events recorded in the creek system. Most residential areas are on elevated terrain, but properties near waterways and flood-prone corridors require careful assessment during development.
Planning Controls
- •Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) applies to areas at risk from 1% AEP flood events
- •Mandatory flood risk assessment and mitigation measures for development in LSIO areas
- •Finished floor levels and habitable room placement restrictions in flood-prone zones
- •Referral to relevant floodplain management authority (City of Casey) for planning permit applications
