Flood Risk
Jan Juc is a coastal township in Victoria's Surf Coast region with low to very low flood risk from riverine sources, as it is not situated within a major catchment valley. However, localized flood risk exists in low-lying areas near coastal drains and creeks due to stormwater backup and potential coastal inundation during severe storm surge events. Most properties are elevated or well-drained, with LSIO applying only to scattered pockets near drainage lines.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with Surfcoast Shire planning scheme flood provisions
- •Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) assessment for affected properties
- •Consideration of coastal storm surge and elevated water table in low-lying areas
- •Stormwater management and drainage design standards
