Flood Risk
Tarneit is a developing western Melbourne suburb with low to moderate flood risk, primarily associated with the Werribee River and tributary catchments. Properties near waterways or within mapped LSIO areas are subject to Victorian planning controls, but the majority of the suburb is above the 1% Annual Exceedance Probability flood extent. Developers and property owners should verify specific site exposure via Melbourne Water's planning scheme overlays.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with Melbourne Water flood management overlay requirements for properties within LSIO areas
- •Filling and earthworks restrictions in flood-prone zones to prevent upstream flood impacts
- •Building design and floor level requirements to achieve freeboard above the 1% AEP flood level
- •Stormwater management and detention basin provisions for new subdivisions
