Flood Risk

Flood zone
Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) / Barwon River catchment
Geelong has moderate flood risk, primarily affecting properties near the Barwon River, its tributaries, and coastal low-lying areas. The Barwon River and associated catchments have a documented flood history; many residential and commercial properties in central and eastern suburbs fall within the LSIO. Properties inland on higher ground face lower risk, but detailed site-specific flood studies and overlay mapping should always be consulted for development decisions.
Planning controls
- Development in LSIO areas requires consideration of 1% AEP (100-year) flood levels and Probable Maximum Flood (PMF)
- Mandatory flood risk assessment and mitigation measures (e.g., floor levels above flood planning level) for vulnerable uses
- Geelong Planning Scheme applies specific provisions for flood-prone land; exemptions may apply to minor works
- Building elevation and stormwater management requirements under VIC Building Code and local planning policy
