The Municipality consists of a high number of small catchments which drain into Port Phillip Bay, Western Port Bay or Bass Strait.

The catchments are generally characterised by rural or undeveloped areas in the upper regions of the catchment with more urban areas along or near the coast.

The main waterway systems running through the Shire are the Merricks, Main, Balcombe, Dunns, Manton, Stony, Watson, Warringine, Drum Drum Alloc, Chinamans, Kackeraboite and Tanti Creeks.

The lead time to respond to a flood event may be limited. All households and businesses at risk of flooding should develop an emergency plan and beware of their flood risk.
