Flood Risk
Shepparton is located in the Goulburn River catchment and has a well-documented history of significant flooding, including major events in 1993 and 2012. The town is covered by the Shepparton Flood Study overlay under Victoria's planning scheme, with substantial portions of residential and commercial areas falling within the LSIO. Flood risk is high for low-lying properties near the Goulburn River and its tributaries.
Planning Controls
- •Development must comply with LSIO requirements; habitable floor levels typically set above the 1% AEP (100-year) flood level
- •Flood-resistant construction standards and materials required for areas within the flood overlay
- •Filling and earthworks restricted in flood-prone areas; site-specific flood modeling may be required for permit applications
- •Emergency response and evacuation planning considerations for developments in high-risk zones
Bushfire Risk
BAL Rating
BAL-12.5
Shepparton is a regional city in central Victoria with moderate bushfire risk. While it is not densely bushland-surrounded, the fringe-rural character and proximity to grassland and scattered woodland create exposure to grass-fire propagation and ember attack. Properties are likely to fall within BMO/BPA and typically attract BAL-12.5 or BAL-19 ratings; AS 3959 construction standards should be applied.
