Helpful information about bushfire prone areas, termite zones and flood zones.
Most parcels of land within the Northern Grampians Shire are within a bushfire prone area. To check if your land is within one of these areas, you can visit Land Vic Property Search.
Building works within a bushfire prone area require a Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) assessment to be submitted with a building permit application. Please note that if you are required to obtain a planning permit for your building work due to the Bushfire Management Overlay, your BAL level will be set by the planning permit.
The whole of Northern Grampians Shire is a declared termite area.
This means all buildings proposed to be constructed within the municipality must be provided with measures to protect the building from termites.
Referred to as land subject to inundation.
