Flood Risk
Mildura has a documented medium flood risk due to its location on the Murray River floodplain. The Murray River is a major waterway with a long history of flooding, and properties within the LSIO are subject to VIC planning overlays and building controls. Most urban Mildura is protected by levees, but areas outside formal flood defenses and low-lying properties remain at risk during significant flood events.
Planning Controls
- •Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) applies to properties within the Murray River flood plain
- •Building height and design requirements to reduce flood impact; finished floor levels set above the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF)
- •Restriction on certain uses and subdivision in mapped flood-affected areas; notice requirements for affected property sales
Bushfire Risk
BAL Rating
BAL-19
Mildura is located in a semi-arid region of northwestern Victoria with moderate bushfire risk, primarily from grassfires and scattered eucalyptus woodland. The area is likely subject to the Bushfire Prone Area (BPA) mapping and may fall within BAL-19 construction zones depending on specific property location and proximity to vegetation. Properties on the urban fringe or near irrigated agricultural areas with denser vegetation should verify their exact BMO/BPA classification with the Mildura Rural City Council.
Crime & Safety
Mildura experiences crime rates below the Victorian state average, typical for a regional centre of its size.
