The Moonee Ponds Creek system passes nearby and parts of the suburb may fall within Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) mapping. Most of Pascoe Vale sits at elevated terrain; flood risk is generally confined to low-lying areas near drainage corridors.
Planning Controls

- •Compliance with VIC planning scheme flood risk management objectives and building standards
- •Potential requirement for flood-compatible design and materials in identified LSIO areas
- •Notification and disclosure obligations for properties within mapped flood overlays
