The suburb experiences moderate flood risk from both creek overflow and stormwater inundation, particularly during extreme rainfall events. Planning controls require flood mitigation measures for new development and major works.
Planning Controls
- •Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) applies to flood-prone areas; development must demonstrate flood resilience
- •Stormwater management and detention requirements for new development to mitigate local flooding
- •Building design standards may require elevated floor levels or flood-resistant construction in affected zones
- •Mandatory consultation with Melbourne Water for works near Moonee Ponds Creek and tributaries
