Overview
Our commitment to providing a flood resilient community will be demonstrated though the preparation and delivery of the Wellington Flood Study. The review of this study is a legislative requirement under NSW Flood Policy, and it provides an improved understanding of local flood behaviour.
The study will develop flood models to incorporate an additional 30 years of rainfall and river level data, account for Burrendong Dam safety upgrades (2010-2014), consider recent infrastructure and development in Wellington and utilise contemporary topographic data and flood modelling software.
We have appointed an engineering consultant to undertake the Wellington Flood Study with the support of a Floodplain Risk Management Committee (FRMC) while seeking community and business participation across a range of engagement activities.
