Flood Risk
Bonshaw is a small rural locality in western Victoria with low to moderate flood risk. While not located on a major flood-prone river system, localised catchment flooding from creeks and drainage lines is possible during intense rainfall events. Standard LSIO and FMO controls apply; most properties are likely outside primary flood zones but development should confirm overlay status with the relevant local council.
Planning Controls
- •Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) assessment required for identified flood-prone areas
- •Floodplain management overlay (FMO) may apply to properties near creek/waterway corridors
- •Building setback and finished floor level requirements for properties within mapped flood zones
- •Stormwater management and detention basin compliance for new development
Bushfire Risk
BAL Rating
BAL-29
Bonshaw is a rural locality in west-central Victoria with significant bushfire risk due to its elevation, native vegetation, and distance from major urban centres. Properties in this area typically fall within the Bushfire Prone Area (BPA) and are likely to attract BAL-29 or higher ratings. Construction and landscaping should comply with AS 3959 standards for this risk level.
