Wind, weather and site conditions in Mambourin VIC
Mambourin is on open, largely treeless plain at Melbourne's south-western edge, and lots facing undeveloped land get little shelter. The wind classification for each house is set under AS 4055 in the engineering, and it drives tie-downs, bracing and how the roof is fixed. Bushfire and flood overlays vary by lot, so check the planning certificate for your address.

Exposed lots on the estate edge can carry a higher class.
