While it is not in a major river floodplain comparable to Yarra River or Murrumbidgee areas, some localized LSIO coverage may apply to low-lying areas adjacent to minor watercourses. Most properties are at minimal flood risk, though drainage-prone pockets warrant standard planning overlay assessment.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with VIC planning scheme overlay requirements where LSIO applies
- •Consideration of local drainage patterns and minor watercourse flooding
- •Building design standards for properties within mapped inundation areas
