Consultation summary available


September 29, 2025

The Flood Mapping in Melbourne consultation summary is now available.

Community consultation took place from 13 June to 27 July 2025.

Key insights that emerged from community feedback indicate:

  • Flood risk information should be accessible, locally relevant and easy to act on.
  • Proactive action should be taken to address flooding, including unblocking drains.
  • Many people are concerned about how flood modelling impacts property values and insurance.

Feedback we heard will be used to inform the flood maps being developed by Melbourne Water, flood management works and our Prepared Communities program.
