Melbourne Residents Left Stunned As Homes Are Classified As Flooding Risk

- Melbourne residents have been left stunned after discovering their homes have been reclassified and are now deemed a flood risk.
This means their insurance premiums are likely to increase significantly, and it could become more difficult for residents of Kensington to sell their homes.
Resident Richard Reilly joins us.

Councils are too busy doing important work like getting involved in foreign wars, making sure miners are exposed to explicate material in libraries & spending thousands of dollars on junkets. They can't waste time on flood mitigation.
mkay.. you are the most redneck person I have ever seen watching the project.
My dads uncle wanted to rebuild a house on a hill, knock down the old one and build new, and they wouldn't let him because "it's a flood plain". Wouldn't even go out and look at his request because "the computer already told me". At the bottom of the hill a few kilometres away there was an ACTUAL flood plain and they built the entire new suburb of Armstrong Creek there.
Amazing how many climate alarmists have bought absolute waterfront homes, like climate commissioner Prof Tom Foolerys house at Coba Point, and Barry Obama buying one at Marthas Vineyard.
Fitting name, Tom Foolery...
Maybe the councils should do their job and update the planning zones and help owners instead of just increasing rates etc..
Actually it was zoned mate but the rich wanted to live on the river and got it reclassified and now they are saying they should be compensated for inevitible flooding. Sorry you support that
My dads uncle had a rental house in horseshoe bend riad, marshall, geelong, not in great condition that he wanted to knock down and rebuild. He was told by CITY OF GREATER GEELONG that it was a flood risk. ON TOP OF A HILL. He asked them to drive out and look and THEY DIDN'T because "the computer told me". SHORTLY AFTER they went ahead with Armstrong Creek estate. I worked with the council guy in charge of inspecting the area for broken signs, dumped garbage, etc. THAT WAS a flood plain at the bottom of the hill, paddocks flooded EVERY winter, and they went ahead and built an ENTIRE SUBURB there. But no building on top of the hill because "that's a flood plain".
Melbourne isn’t receiving anymore rainfall than it always has, it’s just that it’s receiving more concrete year on year!
I'd spend the first $5000 on flood proofing my home instead of insurance.
i dont believe in insurance.
How does that work?
Do you build a 2nd storey?
Do you convert the ground floor to an empty open air BBQ area?
@@RUHappyATM you could have 12v sensors and pumps and drainage channels. heaps of options. waterproof membrane wall..
@@tom-vx1lp
Water-proof membrane wall?
Sure you can.
But what happens to the ground floor? Do you furnish it and hope the flash flood doesn't inundate the ground floor?
Please educate me.
@@RUHappyATM trial and error is my philosophy
'You will own nothing and you will be happy'. In Europe, compulsory council requirements to upgrade houses to make them energy efficient will force many owners to sell.

They should reclassify it flooded 3 years ago. Massively. Rich people pushed the laws to build here. Screw them
Councils approving development land are liable. They have received payments from developers to pass this area, so either the developer, the departments used to submit plans and documentation for councils to determine approval, are carrying insurance. Every resident needs to follow the money and take out caveats over appropriate groups that have profited . Especially now they have rezoned the area.
Or perhaps Geoengineering should be banned over Australia so these manipulations of weather events would stop. If this disgusting practice can be banned over certain states in the USA and the sky returns to normal blue sky, why can’t this be dealt with here.
And for those who think this is “conspiracy “ wake up and research.
Check flood maps before you buy a property.
On the banks of a river. Well of course it’s a flood risk.
Worse, it's the flat floodplain of the river, not the banks where the ground rises.
Don't build or buy on floodplains is the simple answer for everyone. Also there was no mention of the Victoria Racing Club levee wall that might be negatively impacting the flood circumstances of Maribyrnong. So what's the Council doing about rezoning? Any way you want to look at the Australian housing market, it's a either a disaster or unsustainable. Both in the short and long term. Given the flooding situation, Maribyrnong Council should be cutting your rates based on property devaluations. There could even be a class action of the Council residents v. Victorian Racing Club pending. So get the impact of the wall assessed by independent engineers. Start to consider a council buyback program of the flood affected houses/businesses.
My dads uncle wanted to knock down and rebuild a house ON A HILL to be told it was a flood plain. They wouldn't go look because "the computer already told me". Instead, at the bottom of the hill where there was an ACTUAL flood plain 2 kilometres away, they built the entire new suburb of Armstrong Creek NO WORRIES. To top it off, that suburb is BELOW sea level so they can't drain it without massive pumps.
What extreme weather events?
What a lot of bull !
You will own nothing and you will be happy. Look it up.
Its NOT cl*mate change!!
We claim your house is a flood risk. Why don't you let us buy it off you...at a massive discount, of course...All part of the wealth transfer from the poor to the banks.
Can't they build a levee?
Who's gonna pay for that, the rest of Melbourne?
@@RUHappyATM Residents in the area maybe? Why would you think the rest of the city would have to pay for it?
@@Spacemonkeymojo
Do you think they (local residents) can afford it?
Edit:
I'm not an engineer, but what happens downstream when the levees are built?
@@RUHappyATM They can take a loan out for it.
I think the Flemington racecourse built itself a flood wall some years ago, which did a good job protecting the premises when the whole area was flooded due to heavy rains last year. The side effect of that wall is, of course, all the redirected flood water towards other properties in nearby streets. People were furious that their homes weren’t given the same level of protection as race tracks and horse stables, and hopefully these events have prompted the government to invest more in upgrading the water infrastructure to better serve the current needs of the residents.
I'd guess every council would need to improve their stormwater systems to cope with all the extra developments they're busy approving.
Just think how much rain used to be absorbed by lawns and gardens.
Now think how much of a block is now covered in rooftops, driveways and paved courtyards - all of which drain to stormwater.
It's a lot more area than they envisioned 50 - 100 years ago.
It's no bloody wonder people are getting flooded and zoned a flood risk!
😂😂😂😂 we need to wake up!
