Some areas within the City of Ballarat are at risk of flooding, and flood studies have been carried out on most major watercourses within the City to determine the likely extent of flooding in the event of a severe storm.

While general flooding enquires may be made by telephoning Customer Service on 03 5320 5500, specific information relating to individual properties cannot be given this way. This is because flooding may affect adjoining properties quite differently for example, there are several blocks of units in the City where only one unit is liable to flooding.

To obtain specific flooding information, apply for a Land Information Certificate. A copy of the property title which includes a plan showing the location of the property must be provided with the application.
