Flood Risk
Cobblebank is a semi-rural locality in Victoria's western metropolitan fringe with low to moderate flood risk. The area has partial LSIO coverage due to proximity to the Werribee River and local drainage patterns, though elevated topography in much of the suburb limits exposure. Developers and property owners should verify specific flood overlay coverage through the Moorabool Shire planning scheme.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with LSIO requirements for floor levels and building design in affected areas
- •Stormwater management and detention basin provisions under VIC planning scheme
- •Consideration of Werribee River and localized drainage corridors in development assessment
- •Bushfire Hazard Overlay (BHO) may also apply given semi-rural location
