Point Cook flood map & planning overlays

The schematic on this page is a Point Cook flood map: the mapped flood overlays drawn over the suburb's terrain and street grid, covering about 3% of the suburb. Flood lines vary block to block, so for a specific property use the free interactive map - search any Point Cook address and it shows the flood, zoning and bushfire mapping on the exact lot boundary.

About 3% of Point Cook falls within a mapped flood overlay, against the council-wide suburb average of 8%. Flood overlays vary block to block, so whether a particular lot is affected needs a property-level check.

Around 30% of Point Cook is mapped as bushfire-prone, compared with a Wyndham average of 42%. A bushfire-prone designation can trigger additional building requirements, so check the specific address.

About 15% of Point Cook sits inside a published aircraft noise contour, and the highest contour present is ANEF 35 - under AS 2021, land above ANEF 25 is generally considered unacceptable for new houses, and 20-25 conditionally acceptable with noise attenuation. 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.

The dominant planning zone in Point Cook is General Residential Zone (GRZ1), though the suburb also includes Public Conservation and Resource Zone (PCRZ) and Farming Zone (FZ1). Zoning sets what you can build and do on a site, and can differ lot by lot.

Point Cook has 5 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 25,118 surveyed parcels in Point Cook, the median lot size is about 476 m². There are also 8,039 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.

The national average score is 1000. SEIFA summarises income, education, occupation and housing across the whole suburb, so it describes the area, not any particular household in it.
