South Murwillumbah Floodplain Risk Management Study and Draft Plan

In recognition of the significant flood risks associated with South Murwillumbah and surrounds, Council, with the assistance of specialist consultants, has prepared a local Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan for the area. The primary goal of the project was to quantify the nature and extent of the existing flooding problem and evaluate options that could be potentially implemented to better manage the flood risk.

The Study and Plan investigates the effectiveness of various measures that could be implemented to modify flood behaviour, flood response or properties in the area. It recommends a series of options that were found to be viable that Council will endeavour to implement in future.
