Suburbs in close proximity to these waterways and their floodplains are subject to LSIO and require planning approval for development; inland and elevated areas typically experience low to negligible flood risk.

Melbourne's CBD and immediate surrounds are experiencing sustained development activity driven by infrastructure investment (Metro Tunnel), urban renewal precincts (Fishermens Bend, Southbank) and residential intensification around transport nodes. Activity is concentrated in Docklands, Parkville, and inner-north precincts with a strong pipeline of mixed-use and residential approvals extending to 2025-2026.

Heritage listed

Central Melbourne contains extensive heritage listings across the Victorian Heritage Register, with numerous 19th and early 20th-century structures. The CBD and surrounding inner suburbs feature multiple heritage conservation overlays protecting Victorian-era streetscapes, grand civic buildings, and commercial precincts. Property development is significantly constrained by heritage protections and mandatory permit requirements for most structural changes.
