Flood Risk
Berwick lies within the Dandenong Creek and Cardinia Creek catchments and has historically experienced localised flooding. Parts of the suburb fall within Land Subject to Inundation Overlay, particularly in low-lying areas adjacent to creek lines. Properties in mapped flood zones must comply with Victorian floodplain controls and elevation requirements; those outside overlays typically carry low to negligible risk.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with VIC LSIO requirements for habitable floor levels and flood-resilient construction
- •Mandatory flood risk assessment and elevation of habitable structures in identified flood zones
- •Restrictions on certain uses and requirement for flood-compatible basement/ground-floor design
- •Referral to relevant floodplain management authority (typically Melbourne Water or Cardinia Shire) for planning applications
