Flood Risk
Hastings, located on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, is subject to medium flood risk primarily from overland flow and localised drainage areas rather than major river flooding. The LSIO and FO apply to flood-prone portions of the suburb. Properties should be assessed individually against current Bass Shire flood mapping to determine specific overlay applicability and required mitigation.
Planning Controls
- •LSIO applies to areas prone to flooding from overland flow and waterway inundation; development requires flood-compatible design
- •Floodway Overlay restricts fill and structures in active flood conveyance areas
- •Mandatory flood risk assessment and mitigation measures for new buildings and extensions in overlay areas
- •Bass Shire planning scheme requires finished floor levels above the 1% AEP (100-year) flood level plus freeboard
