Flood Risk
Glen Iris is located in the Yarra River catchment in metropolitan Melbourne and has moderate flood risk, particularly for properties in lower-lying areas adjacent to the Yarra River and its tributaries. The Victorian planning system applies Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) to flood-prone land, requiring flood risk assessment and mitigation measures for new development. Historical flood events in the Yarra catchment (including 1931 and 1993 events) demonstrate the potential for significant inundation in this area.
Planning Controls
- •Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) assessment required for planning applications
- •Flood Risk Management Overlay (FRMO) may apply to properties near Yarra River and tributary corridors
- •Building design and floor level requirements in accordance with VIC Building Regulations for flood-prone areas
- •Stormwater management and drainage design standards per local council flood management guidelines

Glen Iris is a well-established inner suburb of Melbourne with predominantly residential, low-density development and limited bushland. The area is unlikely to fall within a Bushfire Prone Area (BPA) or Bushfire Management Overlay (BMO) due to its distance from major vegetation and integration with urban infrastructure. Standard building construction practices are typically adequate for this location.
