Flood Risk

Historical flooding events in Gippsland (including 2009 and 1998) demonstrate moderate but genuine risk requiring standard Victoria-wide flood planning controls.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with Victoria's planning scheme overlays (LSIO and/or SBO where applicable)
- •Requirement for flood risk assessment and mitigation measures for development in identified flood-prone areas
- •Floor level controls and setback requirements relative to defined flood extents
- •Consultation with Gippsland Catchment Management Authority for works near waterways
