Site conditions, wind and overlays in Manor Lakes VIC

Lollypop Creek and the estate's lakes run through the area, and the creek flooded in late 2010, so some lots near the waterway may carry a flood related overlay. The open plains to the west also mean exposure to wind, and each home's wind classification under AS 4055 is set on its engineering. A property report for your address shows any planning overlays or bushfire prone area designation.

Floodwater was recorded on the creek in November 2010.

Site conditions, wind and overlays in Manor Lakes VIC: common questions

Is Manor Lakes in a flood zone?

Parts close to waterways may be affected by overlays, but it is lot specific. A VicPlan property report or council will confirm your address.

What wind class applies here?

It is set for each lot on the engineering, depending on terrain and shielding. We read your bracing plan rather than assume.

Is Manor Lakes bushfire prone?

Some land on the urban edge in Wyndham is mapped as bushfire prone. Check the property report for your lot.

Why does wind matter for an inspection?

Bracing, tie-downs and roof fixings are designed to the wind class, which is why we check them against the engineering at frame.
