Flooding can cause serious damage to homes and pose a risk to lives. Flood planning helps us:

  • Identify flood risks

    Pinpoint areas most likely to experience flooding during heavy rain events.

  • Guide land use decisions

    Allow for better decisions on new development proposals.

  • Plan for flood protection

    Identify where infrastructure like drainage or levees might reduce future risk.

  • Support emergency response

    Help the SES and other emergency services prepare for and respond to major flood events.

  • Help the community prepare

    Give residents the information they need to protect their homes and stay safe.
