Most residential and commercial properties in the suburb fall outside high-risk flood zones, though developers and property owners should verify specific overlays during planning and due diligence.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) requirements where applicable
- •Consideration of Moonee Ponds Creek and tributary flood behaviour in planning assessments
- •Building design and floor level requirements in LSIO-affected areas
- •Stormwater management and detention during development approvals
