Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan

Tarcutta, Ladysmith and Uranquinty Floodplain Risk Management Studies and Plans

This report describes the data collection, model update, flood risk assessment and mitigation measures assessment of the Tarcutta, Ladysmith & Uranquinty Floodplain Risk Management Studies and Plans (FRMS&P). The study, which has been undertaken by GRC Hydro on behalf of Wagga Wagga City Council, follows on from the Tarcutta, Ladysmith and Uranquinty Flood Studies, completed in late 2014, which themselves were in response to the significant flood events of 2010 and 2012. The FRMS&P investigates flood risk in the three towns, and will inform the Council flood planning processes, and recommend a number of flood risk mitigation measures in the Floodplain Risk Management Plan. The Plan is presented as a table in this executive summary. The report contains the following sections:

• Background – description of the three study areas, overview of relevant policies and legislation and available data. • Overview of Flood Behaviour – methodology and results of Australian Rainfall and Runoff 2019 (ARR2019) model updates. • Flood Risk Assessment – Separate section for each town including flood hazard, hydraulic categories, levee function, flooding hotspots, flood warning and emergency response • Flood Risk Mitigation Measures – description of the approach to flood mitigation and assessment of options in each town. • Community consultation undertaken during the project
