Kensington, VIC is a low-lying inner-western suburb near the Yarra River floodplain but situated on relatively elevated terrain compared to riverside areas. Parts of the suburb fall within the LSIO due to proximity to local drainage lines and historic flooding patterns, but most properties experience low flood risk. Consultation of individual property flood mapping through Melbourne Water and the Victorian Planning Maps is essential for specific site assessment.
