Flood Risk
Donnybrook is located in southwestern Victoria in relatively elevated terrain within the Southern Grampians region. While the area has localised watercourses and seasonal drainage lines typical of rural Victoria, it is not situated within a major flood-prone catchment comparable to the Yarra, Murrumbidgee, or northern Victoria rivers. Most properties carry low to very low flood risk, though scattered parcels near minor creeks may be subject to LSIO.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with VIC planning scheme flood provisions and LSIO requirements where applicable
- •Stormwater management and detention basin design for local drainage
- •Fill and earthworks restrictions in identified flood-prone areas
- •Referral to relevant water authority (Southern Grampians Shire or Glenelg Hopkins CMA) for development in or near waterways
Bushfire Risk
BAL Rating
BAL-19
Donnybrook is a rural locality in western Victoria situated in bushfire-prone terrain with mixed woodland vegetation and rolling topography. Properties are likely to fall within the Bushfire Prone Area (BPA) or Bushfire Management Overlay (BMO) with BAL-19 or BAL-29 construction requirements. Defensible space management and ember-resistant construction standards are recommended.
