Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) – partial coverage
Bentleigh, located in Melbourne's southeastern suburbs, has low to moderate flood risk primarily associated with localised stormwater inundation and overland flow rather than major river flooding. The suburb is partially covered by the Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO), reflecting historical stormwater drainage issues rather than proximity to major waterway catchments. Properties in LSIO-mapped areas should verify floor levels and drainage compliance, though the risk profile is substantially lower than suburbs affected by the Yarra River, Dandenong Creek, or other major Victorian catchments.
Planning controls
- Compliance with LSIO requirements for floor levels and finished ground levels in mapped areas
- Stormwater management and drainage design standards under VIC planning scheme
- Consideration of overland flow paths and local drainage constraints
- Building setbacks and flood-resilient design where LSIO applies
