Shoalhaven City Council engaged Cardno to assist with the preparation of the Lower Shoalhaven River Flood Study. This study will update the flood modelling to identify existing flooding behaviour within the catchment and will supersede the previous April 1990 Lower Shoalhaven River Flood Study by NSW Public Works Department.
Shoalhaven City Council Mayor, Amanda Findley encourages community members to provide feedback on the Draft Flood Study.
“It is vital that the community has the opportunity to provide input into the development of the Lower Shoalhaven River Flood Study. The outcome of this project can help provide protection for you, your family and your property from flooding”, Mayor Findley said.
“I encourage you to have your say and help inform the Flood Study and upcoming Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan Review”
“The objective of this Flood Study is to improve understanding of flood behaviour and impacts, and better inform management of flood risk in the Lower Shoalhaven River floodplain. The study will also provide a sound technical basis for any further flood risk management investigations in the Lower Shoalhaven River floodplain”, Mayor Findley said.
Council received financial support from the NSW State Floodplain Management Program managed by the Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) to undertake a flood investigation of the Shoalhaven River catchment. Assistance provided under the NSW State Floodplain Management Program is $2 from the Government for every $1 provided by the Council.
