Consultation has concluded

At its ordinary meeting of 14 November 2019, council resolved to endorse the draft updated flood mapping data sets and place them on public exhibition.

Council’s online mapping system available to the public hosts a range of mapping information, including the 100 year ARI flood extent, the flood planning level area, indicative flood areas, and 100 year ARI flood depths from council’s flood studies. The flood mapping layers are an ever evolving data set as new models are developed, existing models are revised and improved, and catchments change with new development and flood mitigation works.

The updated flood mapping data

At its ordinary meeting of 14 November 2019, council resolved to endorse the draft updated flood mapping data sets and place them on public exhibition.

Council’s online mapping system available to the public hosts a range of mapping information, including the 100 year ARI flood extent, the flood planning level area, indicative flood areas, and 100 year ARI flood depths from council’s flood studies. The flood mapping layers are an ever evolving data set as new models are developed, existing models are revised and improved, and catchments change with new development and flood mitigation works.

The updated flood mapping data set includes model information with more accurate terrain data, rainfall data and computer modelling techniques, hence increasing the accuracy in the data set. This will improve the flood information accuracy around Woolgoolga, the Boambee-Newport’s catchment, Bonville, and various other creeks.

The exhibition period is from Wednesday 4th December 2019 to close of business 3rd January 2020. The Draft data sets can be found on councils online mapping tool HERE
