Flood Risk
Clyde is a low-lying outer suburban area in metropolitan Melbourne with moderate local flood risk from overland flow and stormwater inundation rather than major river systems. Parts of the suburb fall within the LSIO due to proximity to drainage basins and flat topography, but it is not directly affected by major watercourse overlays like those along the Yarra or Dandenong systems. Properties in identified zones should verify current overlay status and floor-level requirements with the local council.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with VIC LSIO requirements for floor levels and building design in affected areas
- •Stormwater management and detention basin provisions under VIC planning scheme
- •Consideration of local catchment constraints and drainage corridors
- •Consultation with local council on flood-prone areas and mitigation measures
