Flood Risk
Wembley Downs is located on the Swan River Plain in Perth's inner suburbs with moderate elevation and is not situated within a major flood-prone catchment. While WA does not maintain statutory flood overlays comparable to Queensland or Victoria, the suburb has low to very low flood risk due to its distance from the Swan River and absence of significant perennial watercourses. Local stormwater management and standard drainage controls are the primary flood-risk considerations for this area.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with WA Planning Commission flood risk assessment guidelines where applicable
- •Consideration of local water management and stormwater drainage standards
- •Potential requirement for flood impact assessment on properties near Swan River tributaries or seasonal watercourses
- •Adherence to Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) guidelines for water-sensitive development
