Flood Risk
Attadale is a Perth suburb located in the City of Melville, situated on the eastern shore of the Swan River with generally moderate elevation. While proximity to the Swan River warrants standard stormwater management controls, the suburb is not identified within a formal flood overlay similar to those applied in eastern Australian jurisdictions. Local drainage and site-level flood mitigation remain the primary planning considerations.
Planning Controls
- •Perth Residential Design Codes (Liveable Neighbourhoods) compliance for drainage and stormwater management
- •Local water management strategy considerations under WA Planning Commission guidelines
- •Lot-level stormwater detention and infiltration requirements per City of Melville standards
- •Distance from Swan River and tributary drainage lines assessed during subdivision approvals
