Most of the suburb is considered low flood risk, though property-specific checks against the VIC planning overlay map are recommended.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with VIC Planning Scheme Clause 44.04 (LSIO) where applicable
- •Flood risk assessment and storm water management for developments in overlay areas
- •Floor levels and finished ground levels may be required above predicted flood levels
- •Referral to Loddon Shire Council or relevant water authority for planning permits in affected zones
