EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Lake Wyangan Flood Study was completed by BMT WBM in March 2012. The outcome of this study was the production of flood inundation and flood risk mapping for the Lake Wyangan locality, generated from detailed hydrologic and hydraulic modelling of the catchment. The flood study represents the initial stage in the floodplain management process and establishes the basis for the current floodplain risk management study.

The objectives of the Lake Wyangan Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan (FRMS&P) are to:

• Identify and assess measures for the mitigation of existing flood risk;
• Identify and assess planning and development controls to reduce future flood risks; and
• Present a recommended floodplain management plan that outlines the best possible measures to reduce flood damages in the Lake Wyangan locality.
