Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) – partial coverage
Bentleigh is a low-lying Melbourne suburb in the Mordialloc Creek catchment with partial LSIO coverage due to drainage and overland flow risk rather than major riverine flooding. While the Yarra River is further north and Dandenong Creek to the east, localised inundation from intense rainfall and overland flow paths is the primary flood concern. Properties within the LSIO should verify specific flood conditions with the City of Glen Eira and ensure appropriate floor levels and drainage design.
Planning controls
- Compliance with LSIO requirements for floor levels and flood-compatible design where overlay applies
- Development approval may require flood-risk assessment and evidence of no net increase in flood risk
- Stormwater management and detention requirements to mitigate local drainage flooding
