If you own property in Foster, Tarwin Lower, Sandy Point, Venus Bay, Waratah Bay, Port Franklin, Toora, Welshpool or Port Welshpool, a letter may have recently dropped in your letterbox about proposed new flood planning controls.

Draft Amendment C135 affects around 2,600 properties across South Gippsland, and the community reaction has been immediate. Some residents are worried about property values and insurance. Others are questioning the accuracy of the mapping. Council says the overlays are about transparency, not about stopping people from building, but the experience of Loch Sport in neighbouring Wellington Shire shows why people are paying close attention.

Community information sessions are running across the shire through June, and written submissions are open until 5pm on Monday 6 July. You can search your own address using the interactive mapping tool at southgippsland.vic.gov.au/C135.
