Greater Shepparton City Council has been working to update the existing information on flood risk within the Shepparton-Mooroopna-Kialla area and would like the community’s feedback on the Draft Shepparton Mooroopna Flood Intelligence and Flood Mapping Project Report August 2018 (Draft Report).
The purpose of the Draft Report is to update the flood intelligence and mapping tools contained within the existing Shepparton Mooroopna Floodplain Management Study: Floodplain Management Plan October 2002.
This important document ensures that flooding impacts are considered as part of the assessment of any proposed buildings and works on flood prone land. Greater Shepparton City Council Manager Environment, Greg McKenzie, encouraged the community to book an appointment time with Council to ensure they are fully informed.
“We have 30 minute one-on-one appointments available to meet with Council officers, the Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority and Water Technology Pty Ltd so that people have a good understanding of what the Draft Report means for them,” said Mr McKenzie.
The Draft Report was funded by the Federal and State governments, and Council. It seeks to update the existing information on flood risk within the Shepparton-Mooroopna area. The project involved detailed hydrological and hydraulic modelling of the Goulburn River, Seven Creeks and the Broken River, producing flood mapping and flood intelligence information.
In line with State and regional flood strategies, a priority outcome of the project was to share the updated flood mapping and intelligence information with stakeholders and the wider community.
The Draft Report:
Please contact Council’s Sustainability and Development team to make an appointment on 03 5832 9730.
