Haslams Creek Floodplain Risk Management Study & Plan

Brief description

#AIMS OF THE CURRENT STUDY
In broad terms, the current Floodplain Risk
Management Study has investigated what can be
done to minimise the effects of flooding in the
Haslams Creek catchment and recommended a
strategy in the form of a draft Floodplain Risk
Management Plan.

Specific objectives of the study include:

* a review of the results from the 1999 Flood
Study;
* consideration of the potential for culvert
blockages and associated flood impacts;
* the implementation of a community consultation
strategy, to ensure community input is obtained
at key times throughout the study;
* a description and quantification of the flood
problems in the Haslams Creek catchment
including the likely cost of flooding to the local
community;
* the identification and assessment of potential
floodplain risk management measures to reduce
the risks and hazards of flooding;
* a detailed review of issues relating to planning
and development controls within the floodplain.
Don Fox Planning Pty Ltd has prepared a
document entitled Report on Planning Issues as
part of this study. It is reproduced in Appendix
A. Included in this report, is a proposed draft
Development Control Plan (DCP) entitled
“Managing Our Flood Risks”;
* the development of a recommended draft
Floodplain Risk Management Plan for the
Haslams Creek catchment that outlines the best
measures to reduce flood damage, based on
environmental, social, economic, financial and
engineering considerations.
