This catchment has experienced a number of major floods, the most recent in August 1996 which resulted in extensive damage to both public and private property.
 
Bewsher Consulting Pty Ltd was engaged to prepare a Flood Study, Floodplain Risk Management Study and Floodplain Risk Management Plan for this catchment area. These studies were completed in February 2010.

Study Documents Explained:

• Flood Study: defines the nature of the flood risk in the catchment area
