Point Leo flood map & planning overlays

The schematic on this page is a Point Leo flood map: the mapped flood overlays drawn over the suburb's terrain and street grid, covering about 4% of the suburb. Flood lines vary block to block, so for a specific property use the free interactive map - search any Point Leo address and it shows the flood, zoning and bushfire mapping on the exact lot boundary.

About 4% of Point Leo falls within a mapped flood overlay, against the council-wide suburb average of 3%. Flood overlays vary block to block, so whether a particular lot is affected needs a property-level check.

Around 94% of Point Leo is mapped as bushfire-prone, compared with a Mornington Peninsula average of 89%. A bushfire-prone designation can trigger additional building requirements, so check the specific address.
