Property-level risk assessment through local council planning maps and Melbourne Water flood information is recommended.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with VIC LSIO requirements for floor levels and building design in identified flood-prone areas
- •Flood Risk Management Overlay (FRMO) may apply depending on proximity to waterways
- •Stormwater management and drainage design standards per Melbourne Water or local council requirements
