Flood Risk

Complete
low RiskZone: Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) – localised areas

Grovedale is a suburban locality in the Geelong region of Victoria with generally low to moderate flood risk. While not located on a major flood-prone waterway, parts of the suburb may be subject to localised flooding from smaller creeks and drainage areas, with LSIO mapping likely to apply to low-lying or drainage-adjacent properties. Properties should be checked against the Corangamite Shire or City of Greater Geelong planning overlays for site-specific flood risk.

Planning Controls

  • Compliance with Victoria's Building Regulations and Flood Risk Planning controls under Planning Policy Framework (PPF)
  • Potential requirement for site-specific flood risk assessment if property intersects mapped LSIO or Significant Flood History Area
  • Elevation and finished floor level requirements for new buildings in identified flood-risk areas
  • Restrictions on certain building types and uses within mapped flood zones under relevant local planning schemes
