Amendment C196more Interactive Map

Please use the above map to see to see if you property is affected by Amendment C196more. The map is best seen on a desktop or laptop computer.

Amendment C196more proposes to apply a Special Building Overlay - Schedule 2 (SBO2) to properties affected by stormwater overland flows in the city's local drainage areas.

In 2023 Council had expert drainage engineers prepare an updated stormwater map. The map shows the affected land. A 1 in 100-year storm has a one percent chance of happening in any year.

After property owners were consulted, the map was designated for the Building Regulations 2018 in November 2023 and is now being used to inform building permits.

Amendment C196more puts the updated stormwater map in the Merri-bek Planning Scheme as a SBO2 so it can be used to inform planning permits.

There is already an SBO Schedule 1 (SBO1) in the Planning Scheme for Melbourne Water’s larger, regional drainage areas in Merri-bek. There are SBOs in many other Planning Schemes as well.  

My property is affected by Amendment C196more, now what?
