Risk remains low under typical South Australian conditions.
Planning Controls
- •SA Planning and Design Code (PDC) flood and stormwater management provisions
- •Local flood mapping and stormwater management plans via City of Unley
- •Consideration of overland flow paths and local drainage systems
- •Building Code of Australia (BCA) standards for wet areas in flood-prone contexts
