Yass Flood Plain Risk Management Study and Plan

This project extends the 'Yass flood study' to a floodplain risk management study and plan, allowing an increased understanding of the impacts of floods on the existing and future community. It also allows testing and investigating practical, feasible and economic management measures to treat existing, future and residual risk. The floodplain risk management study will provide a basis for informing the development of a floodplain risk management plan.

The floodplain risk management plan will document and convey the decisions on the management of flood risk into the future. Drawing on the investigations undertaken as part of the floodplain risk management study, the plan will outline a range of measures to manage existing, future and residual flood risk effectively and efficiently. This will include a prioritised implementation strategy, what measures are proposed and how they will be implemented. The overall project provides an understanding of, and information on, flood behavior and associated risk to inform Council and the broader community.
