Flood Risk
Mildura has moderate flood risk due to its proximity to the Murray River, which is subject to historical flooding events and seasonal inundation. The LSIO typically covers properties in the floodplain and low-lying areas adjacent to the river. Development in affected areas requires compliance with floor level standards and flood mitigation measures under Victorian planning controls.
Planning Controls
- •Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) applies to properties within Murray River flood risk areas
- •Floodplain Management Overlay (FMO) may apply to low-lying areas adjacent to the Murray River
- •Development must demonstrate compatibility with flood risk through floor level requirements and flood-resistant design
- •Mildura Planning Scheme requires referral to Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority for flood-prone land

Development activity is constrained by regional demand and water security considerations, but council is actively promoting CBD revitalisation and value-add manufacturing to diversify the local economy. Projects tend toward medium-scale, family-oriented residential and food-production sectors rather than high-density or speculative development.
