Amendment C131 Flood Overlays Update

Amendment C131 was first exhibited to the public in early 2022. During the first exhibition 67 submissions were received. The submissions were presented to Council at an Ordinary Council Meeting on 1 August 2022 where it was determined that further work should be undertaken.

Venant Solutions were engaged to undertake a peer review of the background studies and the planning scheme tools being applied. The recommendations from this peer review included changes to the flood maps.

Council has resolved on 5 February 2024 to re-exhibit the amendment as a result of these changes

About Amendment C131

Amendment C131 implements nine flood studies undertaken between 2011 and 2021 by changing the extent of the Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) and Floodway Overlay (FO) to match the data in the flood studies as per recommendations made in the West Gippsland Floodplain Management Strategy (2018 – 2027) prepared by the West Gippsland Catchment Management Authority.
