Flood Risk
Wollert is a northern Melbourne suburb with generally low to moderate flood risk. While not in a major flood-prone catchment like the Yarra River floodplain proper, some localised areas may fall within LSIO mapping due to proximity to tributaries and stormwater drainage lines. Most of the suburb sits on elevated terrain; detailed site-specific flood mapping should be consulted for individual properties.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with VIC planning scheme LSIO requirements for floor levels and building design in mapped areas
- •Stormwater management and drainage considerations for properties near local waterways and tributaries
- •Referral to Melbourne Water for any works in or near waterways or drainage corridors
- •Consideration of Yarra River catchment flood risk for southern portions of the suburb

While not in a high-risk zone like mountain or heavily forested areas, properties should maintain adequate vegetation clearance and comply with relevant state planning provisions.
