Land subject to inundation
One of the parcels of VicRoads land we’re trying to save falls within a Land Subject To Inundation building overlay according to the Moreland Planning Scheme. In other words, this land is flood prone. If ever there was a good reason to not offer this land for development, this would surely be it… However, it’s not just when the two creeks back up in heavy rains and flood across the parkland - it does not take too much rain to cause the parkland to become sodden. A reasonable rainfall event spread over an entire day is sufficient to keep the waterfowl happy - as seen from the ducks and ibises enjoying this instant lagoon.
