Flood Risk
Belmont, WA (Perth metropolitan area) is not identified as being within a major flood-prone catchment comparable to eastern Australian river systems. The suburb is in a relatively elevated inland location without proximity to significant rivers (the Swan River is not a major flood risk driver in this locality). While local stormwater and drainage considerations apply under standard planning controls, there is no evidence of mapped state-level flood overlays for residential areas in Belmont.
Planning Controls
- •Refer to City of Belmont Local Planning Scheme and Western Australian Planning Commission guidelines for any mapped flood risk areas
- •Development assessment may require Flood Risk Assessment if property is within 100m of a watercourse or drainage line
- •Compliance with WA Building Code and Australian Rainfall and Runoff (ARR) guidelines for stormwater management
