Property-specific flood-risk assessment is recommended, particularly for sites within mapped overlays or near drainage corridors.
Planning Controls

- •Flood-resilient design and elevated floor levels in identified flood-risk areas
- •Referral to Hume City Council and Melbourne Water for flood-risk assessments
- •Potential requirement for planning permits in flood-prone zones
