     (b)    Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay Code
     (c)    Bushfire Hazard Overlay Code
     (d)    Coastal Protection and Scenic Amenity Overlay Code
     (e)    Extractive Resources Overlay Code
     (f)    Flood Hazard Overlay Code
     (g)    Heritage Overlay Code
     (h)    Landslide Hazard Overlay Code
     (i)    Regional Infrastructure Overlay Code

 8.2.6 Flood Hazard Overlay Code

     Application
     (1)    This code applies to assessable development:
            (a)    in the Flood Hazard Overlay shown on the overlay maps contained within Schedule 2 Mapping; and
            (b)    identified as requiring assessment against the Flood Hazard overlay code by the tables of assessment in Part 5
                   (Tables of Assessment).

     (2)    All provisions of the code are assessment benchmarks for applicable assessable development.



     Editor's Note—The Flood Hazard Overlay Maps in Schedule 2 (Mapping) identify flooding and inundation areas where flooding and storm tide
     modelling has been undertaken by Council. Other areas not identified by the Flood Hazard Overlay may also be subject to flooding or storm tide
     inundation. Maximum flow velocity mapping is also available from Council.

     Editor’s Note—Planning scheme policy 9 for Assessment of Natural Hazards provides guidance for achieving certain outcomes of this code,
     including for the preparation of a flood hazard assessment and mitigation report.

     Purpose and overall outcomes
     (1)    The purpose of the Flood Hazard overlay code is to:
            (a)    provide for the assessment of the compatibility of development in the flood hazard overlay to flood and storm tide
                   inundation risk, taking into account the predicted effects of climate change;
            (b)    ensure that risk to life, property, community, economic activity and the environment during flood and storm tide
                   inundation events is avoided or mitigated; and
            (c)    ensure that development does not increase potential for flood damage on­site or to other property.

     (2)    The overall outcomes sought for the Flood Hazard overlay code are:
            (a)    Development in areas at risk from flood and storm tide inundation is compatible with the nature of the defined flood
                   event or defined storm tide event.
            (b)    Development protects floodplains and the flood conveyance capacity of waterways.
            (c)    Development is resilient to flood and storm tide events by ensuring siting and design responds to and minimises
                   potential risks of flood and storm tide inundation to people and property.
            (d)    Development directly, indirectly and cumulatively avoids an unacceptable increase in the extent or severity of flood or
                   storm tide inundation and does not significantly increase the potential for damage on the site or to other properties.
            (e)    Development supports and does not unduly burden disaster management response or recovery capacity and
                   capabilities.
