Monegeetta flood map & planning overlays

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

Flood mapping covers Monegeetta and none of the suburb falls within a mapped flood overlay (the council-wide suburb average is 2%). Flood overlays vary block to block, so whether a particular lot is affected needs a property-level check.

Around 100% of Monegeetta is mapped as bushfire-prone, compared with a Macedon Ranges average of 100%. A bushfire-prone designation can trigger additional building requirements, so check the specific address.
