Mudgee Local Creeks Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan Volume 2 Flood Behaviour Studies

This report comprises __Volume 2__ of the Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan (FRMP),\r\nwhich is being prepared on behalf of Mid-Western Council in the area drained by the Mudgee\r\nLocal Creeks, as part of a Government program to mitigate the impacts of major floods and\r\nreduce the hazards in the floodplains. Volume 2 details the results of flood behaviour studies of\r\neach of the creeks.\r\n\r\nUndertaking of the flood studies on the creeks was an important first step in the process of\r\npreparing the FRMP. The flood study is the formal starting process of defining management\r\nmeasures for flood liable land and represents a detailed technical investigation of flood\r\nbehaviour.\r\n\r\nThis Volume describes the method and results of the investigation to define flooding conditions\r\non the catchments under both present day conditions and after development according to\r\nCouncil’s current zoning policy. The study then reviews the impacts of flooding on existing urban\r\ndevelopment and improvements to the drainage system which could be implemented to mitigate\r\nflood impacts.
