Flood Risk
Truganina, located in Melbourne's western suburbs, has low to very low flood risk overall. While parts of the suburb may fall within the LSIO due to tributary drainage lines and stormwater connections to the Werribee River catchment, the area is predominantly elevated and not subject to major riverine flooding. Localized flooding risk is primarily associated with overland flow paths and stormwater system capacity during intense rainfall events rather than inundation from major waterways.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with LSIO requirements for buildings and works in mapped flood-prone areas
- •Stormwater management and detention basin design in accordance with Melbourne Water standards
- •Floor level requirements for habitable buildings in LSIO areas (typically 500-year ARI minimum)
- •Assessment against VicSmart and Planning Scheme provisions for flood-affected land
Bushfire Risk

BAL-LOW
Truganina is a western Melbourne suburb with predominantly urban and peri-urban character, located on relatively flat terrain with minimal bushfire fuel loads. The area is typically outside or on the fringe of Victoria's Bushfire Prone Area mapping, with low to negligible bushfire risk due to limited vegetation density and distance from major forested areas. Standard construction practices apply; bushfire-specific BAL requirements are generally not triggered.
