Towradgi Creek Catchment Flood Study

As part of our commitment to managing flood and stormwater in our region, we’re working on a flood study for the Towradgi Creek catchment. The updated Study explains the ways flooding happens in the Towradgi Creek catchment, located in Tarrawanna, Corrimal, East Corrimal and Towradgi.

We’ll be sharing the report with the community during the public exhibition from 9 September to 8 October 2019. Come along to our drop-in community information session where the floodplain engineers working on the Study will be available to answer your questions. There’s no formal presentation as such. Instead, we’ll have the report available for viewing, display stands showing flood mitigation projects, flood modelling maps and a short flood modelling video to help explain how and where it can flood in this catchment. This is a drop-in session, so you can come in at any time.

When: Tuesday 17 September 2019, drop in anytime between 5pm - 7pm
Where: Towradgi Surf Lifesaving Club, Cnr Marine Pde & Murranar Rd, Towradgi

If you’d like to attend and have accessibility or mobility requirements, or need an interpreter, please contact us to let us know how we can support your attendance.

If you’d like to learn more but are unable to attend a session, the report will also be available to view at Corrimal Library until Tuesday 8 October, with copies of the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), feedback forms and reply-paid envelopes available for people to take.

Read the FAQ, draft report and have a look at the Floodplain Risk Management Process diagram to learn more about the Study, how we manage flood risk and what we will use the flood study information for, then share your feedback online with the project team.

Following our conversations with the community, the Towradgi Creek Flood Study will go to Council for adoption. After that, we can start working on a Floodplain Risk Management Study that looks at what the risks and damages from floods might be, and what we could do to mitigate (reduce) those risks. We’ll again be inviting the community to contribute to that process when the time comes.

Feedback closes on 8 October 2019.
