Flemington flood map & planning overlays

The schematic on this page is a Flemington flood map: the mapped flood overlays drawn over the suburb's terrain and street grid, covering about 41% of the suburb. Flood lines vary block to block, so for a specific property use the free interactive map - search any Flemington address and it shows the flood, zoning and bushfire mapping on the exact lot boundary.

About 41% of Flemington falls within a mapped flood overlay, against the council-wide suburb average of 10%. Flood overlays vary block to block, so whether a particular lot is affected needs a property-level check.

Bushfire mapping covers Flemington and little to none of it is mapped as bushfire-prone (the Moonee Valley average is 2%). Always confirm for the exact lot, as mapping can change.

The dominant planning zone in Flemington is Special Use Zone (SUZ1), though the suburb also includes Residential 1 Zone (R1Z) and Special Use Zone (SUZ2). Zoning sets what you can build and do on a site, and can differ lot by lot.

Flemington has 52 heritage-listed places on record. Heritage listing affects what you can alter or demolish, so confirm whether a specific property is listed or near a heritage place.

Across 4,731 surveyed parcels in Flemington, the median lot size is about 662 m². There are also 370 registered easements mapped in the suburb - an easement can restrict where you can build, so always check the title and overlays for the specific lot.
