The Batemans Bay Urban Creeks Flood Study has been prepared for Eurobodalla Shire Council (Council) to define the existing flood behaviour in the catchment and establish the basis for subsequent floodplain management activities.

The study area covers the catchments of Maloneys Beach, Long Beach, Surfside, Water Gardens, Catalina, Batehaven, and Sunshine Bay with a focus on understanding the flood behaviour and risk in these catchments.

This project is a flood study, which is a comprehensive technical investigation of flood behaviour that provides the main technical foundation for the development of a robust floodplain risk management plan. It aims to provide a better understanding of the full range of flood behaviour and consequences. It involves consideration of the local flood history, available collected flood data, and the development of hydrologic and hydraulic models that are calibrated and verified, where possible, against historic flood events and extended, where appropriate, to determine the full range of flood behaviour.
