Keilor East flood map & planning overlays

The schematic on this page is a Keilor East flood map: the mapped flood overlays drawn over the suburb's terrain and street grid, covering about 6% of the suburb. Flood lines vary block to block, so for a specific property use the free interactive map - search any Keilor East address and it shows the flood, zoning and bushfire mapping on the exact lot boundary.

About 6% of Keilor East 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.

Around 28% of Keilor East is mapped as bushfire-prone, compared with a Moonee Valley average of 2%. A bushfire-prone designation can trigger additional building requirements, so check the specific address.

About 50% of Keilor East sits inside a published aircraft noise contour. ANEF contours are forecasts published per airport and used to control noise-sensitive development; they are not a measurement at any one house, and a property can sit under a flight path and outside every contour.
