Flood Risk Management Study & Plan - Main report (Part 1 of 4)

This Lake Macquarie Waterway Flood Risk Management Study and Plan constitutes a review of the second and third stage of the management process, namely the August 2000 Lake Macquarie Floodplain Management Study and the July 2001 Lake Macquarie Floodplain Management Plan. This review has been prepared by consultant WMAwater for Lake Macquarie City Council and was undertaken following a review of the 1998 Lake Macquarie Flood Study, to include the June 2007 long weekend storm/flood event and incorporation of the implications of climate change. The results of this Waterway Flood Risk Management Study and Plan Review will provide the basis for the future management of flood liable foreshores areas surrounding the Lake Macquarie waterway. The study concentrates on those areas of the foreshore within the boundaries of Lake Macquarie City Council, with no investigation of land within the Wyong local government area.

The objectives of the Study are to identify and compare various management options, including an assessment of their social, economic and environmental impacts, together with opportunities to enhance the foreshore environments. The primary aim of the Plan is to reduce the flood hazard and risk to people and property in the existing community and to ensure future development is controlled in a manner consistent with the flood hazard and risk at this time and as a result of climate change (sea level rise). This review combines and updates the previous Lake Macquarie Floodplain Risk Management Study (2000 – Reference 1) and Plan (2001 – Reference 2) into one document.
