Planning FAQs - My property has never flooded, why does the Floodway Overlay [FO] or Land Subject to Inundation Overlay [LSIO] affect my property?

Answer

The Floodway Overlay (FO) identifies land in in both rural and urban areas that, during a flood event, would allow the passage of flood waters or the store flood waters.

The Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) have a lower flood risk than FO areas.

The FO and LSIO require a planning permit for certain developments and the subdivision of land.

You should seek advice from the Water Catchment Management Authority before apply for a Planning Permit.
