Flood Risk

The elevated inland location and distance from significant Victorian flood-prone waterways (Yarra, Murrumbidgee, etc.) suggest low flood risk, though local drainage and seasonal runoff should be verified through council enquiry.
Planning Controls
- •Refer to Mansfield Shire Planning Scheme for any local flood mapping or waterway setbacks
- •Consider proximity to local drainage lines and seasonal water table variations
- •Standard Victorian building standards apply; enquire about historical flood records with council
