Standard VIC planning scheme overlays and Melbourne Water conditions typically apply to new development.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with Melbourne Water floodplain management overlay requirements for properties within LSIO areas
- •Building design standards requiring habitable floor levels above defined flood levels in affected zones
- •Stormwater management and detention basin provisions under Victoria's planning scheme
