Section 32 framework

2022 catastrophic flood legacy

Rochester (~80% of buildings inundated), Shepparton, Mooroopna, Echuca, Cardross, Piangil and Walwa all experienced major October 2022 flooding. The Section 32 framework demands flood-history disclosures, expanded LSIO/FO coverage, repair / rebuild permit history verification, and insurance-availability scrutiny (many insurers decline new flood cover post-2022).
