Flood Risk

Complete
low RiskZone: Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) โ€“ potential partial coverage

Burnside Heights is an elevated residential suburb in Melbourne's southeastern region with generally low flood risk. While some properties may fall within the Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) depending on proximity to local drainage lines or tributaries, the suburb's topography and distance from major waterways (Dandenong Creek system) limit exposure to significant riverine flooding. Standard VIC planning scheme controls apply for any flood-prone pockets.

Planning Controls

  • โ€ขCompliance with VIC Building Regulations regarding floor levels and flood-resistant construction in LSIO areas
  • โ€ขReferral to Melbourne Water or relevant catchment authority for planning applications affecting waterways or drainage
  • โ€ขStormwater management and detention requirements under VIC planning schemes
  • โ€ขPotential restrictions on basement/below-ground development in identified flood-prone areas
