Council finalised a flood study model of the Baffle Creek catchment in 2018. In order to fully utilise the outputs of the modelling for mapping, flood forecasting, emergency planning and other planning activities, Council would like to hear from the community.

Community engagement will assist in “ground truthing” the flood mapping and Council to better understand how flooding impacts on the community.

Workshop 1: Feasible alternatives (Property)

Locations: Baffle Creek and Lowmead

Description: This workshop will investigate proposed feasible alternatives to incorporating the flood hazard mapping into the Planning Scheme, as required by the Planning Act 2016, for flood affected properties in the Baffle Creek catchment. These alternatives may include property modification, response modification and flood behaviour modification.

Workshop 2: Road Flood Immunity

Locations: Baffle Creek and Agnes Water
