Draft Stormwater Flood Maps for Hobsons Bay
Updated Draft Stormwater Flood Maps Are Live!
2026 July

Hi Hobsons Bay Residents,
Melbourne Water has just released updated draft stormwater flood maps for the Hobsons Bay area.
What does this mean for us?
These new maps use modern, advanced modelling to show how rainwater flows through our local streets and drainage networks during significant downpours. Importantly, these maps don’t create new risks—they give all of us a clearer, property-level picture so we can be better prepared. In fact, for most properties in Hobsons Bay, the maps will confirm you are not at risk.
How can we get involved?
Melbourne Water wants to hear from us! Local knowledge is incredibly valuable for refining these maps before they are finalised.
By visiting the digital engagement platform, we can:
🔍 Check our address to see how our specific property looks on the draft map.
💬 Provide direct feedback based on our own experiences with local weather.
📅 Register for an upcoming community consultation session to chat directly with the project team and ask questions.
Take a look, explore the maps, and have your say here:
