Melbourne Homes at Risk: New Landslide Overlays
Update: 2025-12-11
Description
Coastal and hillside homes in Melbourne, including Louise Astons farm in Merricks, face potential landslide risks, leading to proposed erosion management overlays affecting over forty-six thousand properties. These overlays could result in stricter planning rules, higher insurance premiums, and reduced property values. The Yarra Ranges Shire Council and Knox City Council are moving forward with these plans, which may require geotechnical reports and planning permits for renovations or extensions, and could even prohibit new development in some areas.
