Flood Risk
Sunbury is located in the Yarra River catchment and contains areas mapped under Victoria's Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO), particularly in lower-lying zones near Jacksons Creek and the Yarra River floodplain. Historical flooding events and proximity to these waterways warrant medium flood-risk classification. Properties in LSIO-mapped areas face planning restrictions and must demonstrate flood-resistant design.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with LSIO requirements for floor levels and building design in mapped flood-prone areas
- •Flood risk assessment and mitigation measures required for development in LSIO zones
- •Restrictions on filling and earth works in designated flood-prone areas
- •Consideration of Yarra River and tributary (Jacksons Creek) flooding in planning applications
Bushfire Risk
BAL Rating
BAL-19
Sunbury is a fringe-rural suburb northwest of Melbourne with moderate bushfire risk. The area contains scattered bushland, grassland, and residential blocks, placing it within a Bushfire Prone Area (BPA) and likely subject to the Bushfire Management Overlay (BMO). Properties should comply with AS 3959 BAL-19 construction standards and maintain appropriate fuel-reduction and defensible-space measures around buildings.
