Flood Risk
Kalkallo is a developing northern suburb of Melbourne with low to moderate flood risk, primarily affected by the Merri Creek catchment and tributary systems. While some properties may fall within LSIO or similar overlays managed by Melbourne Water, the suburb is not on a major flood-prone waterway comparable to the Yarra or Dandenong systems. Development in identified flood zones requires standard Victorian planning compliance and floor level controls.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with LSIO requirements for floor levels and building design in mapped flood areas
- •Stormwater management and detention basin requirements for new developments
- •Referral to Melbourne Water for permit requirements in flood-prone zones
- •Building Design Standards (BDS) adherence for floor levels relative to 1% AEP flood level
Bushfire Risk
