New Flood Maps Target 20K Homes

Melbourne Water’s new flood maps reveal nearly 20,000 homes in the city’s north-west and north-east face risk from extreme rainfall events — rare but serious. Updated models across all 38 councils aim to boost preparedness, with Banyule and Moonee Valley’s draft maps now live for public review. Most affected homes fall into low-risk categories (H1-H2), but a small portion are in higher-risk zones (H4+). Residents are urged to check their address and provide feedback before finalization in August — a vital step toward smarter, safer urban planning.
