Flood Risk
Clyde is a low-lying suburb in Melbourne's outer south-east with some localised flood risk associated with unnamed waterways and drainage corridors. While not affected by major river overlays (unlike areas near the Dandenong Creek or Cardinia Creek catchments), parts of Clyde may fall within the Land Subject to Inundation Overlay. Development should be checked against the VIC planning overlay maps for specific flood-prone parcels.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with VIC Planning Scheme Clause 14.02-1 (Flood related hazards)
- •Potential requirement for Flood Risk Assessment if within LSIO-mapped areas
- •Elevation and finished floor level controls for new development in identified flood-prone localities
Bushfire Risk
BAL Rating
BAL-19
Clyde is a outer-urban locality in Victoria's Gippsland region with moderate bushfire risk due to its proximity to vegetated hills and bushland. Properties are likely to fall within the Bushfire Prone Area (BPA) and require BAL-19 construction standards. While not in a high-risk zone, the interface between residential areas and surrounding woodland necessitates appropriate building resilience and regular vegetation management.
