Flood Risk
Craigieburn is located on relatively elevated terrain in Melbourne's north-west growth corridor with low to moderate overall flood risk. While Moonee Ponds Creek and associated tributaries pass through or near the suburb, inundation risk is generally limited to specific pockets mapped under the LSIO. Most properties are situated above typical 1% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) flood levels, though LSIO compliance checks are advisable before development.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with VIC Planning Scheme Clause 44.04 (Land Subject to Inundation Overlay) where applicable
- •Flood risk assessment and mitigation measures for properties within mapped LSIO areas
- •Consideration of Moonee Ponds Creek tributary catchment in western portions of suburb
- •Mandatory floor level and building design requirements in affected areas
Bushfire Risk
BAL Rating
BAL-12.5
Craigieburn is a growth-corridor suburb north of Melbourne with moderate bushfire risk due to its position on the urban-rural fringe and proximity to scattered bushland and grassland areas. Properties are likely to fall within the Bushfire Prone Area (BPA) under Victoria's BMO, typically attracting BAL-12.5 or BAL-19 ratings depending on exact location and vegetation density. Compliance with AS 3959 construction standards is recommended for new buildings or major renovations.
