Flood Risk
Sunbury is located in the Maribyrnong River and Jacksons Creek catchments and has moderate flood risk, particularly in low-lying areas adjacent to these waterways. Parts of the suburb are mapped under Victoria's Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO), reflecting historical flood exposure and the potential for inundation during significant rainfall events. Developers and property owners in affected areas must comply with strict planning controls and flood mitigation standards.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with Victoria's LSIO requirements for floor levels and building design in mapped flood extent areas
- •Floodplain management overlay (FPO) restrictions on development in designated flood risk zones
- •Requirement for flood risk assessment and mitigation measures for new construction or substantial extensions
- •Consideration of 1% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) flood event in planning applications
