Site conditions, wind and flooding in Officer VIC
Cardinia's flood plans note that short, intense storms can cause flash flooding around Officer and Pakenham, and that Gum Scrub Creek runs through the suburb. Parts of Cardinia are designated bushfire prone, and wind classification is set lot by lot on the engineering. On site that makes roof flashings, sarking and drainage worth checking at every stage.
Check your planning property report for flood and bushfire overlays.
If your lot is bushfire prone, the BAL sets construction details.
Your wind class is shown on the engineering and drives tie-down.
Sarking laps should run across the roof slope, never down it.
Gutters, downpipes and site drainage need to handle sudden heavy rain.
