Kiewa River and Tributaries Flood Study

⁠⁠⁠This project is to produce updated flood mapping and flood intelligence for the Kiewa River and tributaries, specifically seeking to meet the following objectives:

• Provide appropriate mapping to define flood related controls in the relevant LGA planning schemes, leading to application of overlays (Alpine Shire) and amendment where appropriate of existing overlays (Indigo Shire and City of Wodonga).
• Provide appropriate quality flood data and inform emergency response planning by drafting the appropriate appendices for each Council’s Municipal Flood Emergency Plan.
• Provide hydrologic and hydraulic tools (e.g. flood frequency analysis data files, hydraulic models) to assist the North East CMA to analyse local flood risk issues.
• Assist in the preparation of community flood awareness and education products.
• Support the assessment of flood risk for insurance purposes.

This project needs to incorporate all the work required to meet the project objectives and accordingly must:

• describe a range of flood magnitudes, from frequently occurring events to the Probable Maximum Flood;
• be developed in consultation with local communities and make use of local knowledge;
• be of a resolution suitable to appropriately define planning overlays and make planning decisions at a property scale;
• be explicitly linked to stream gauges;
• be quality assured; and
• be stored in Victoria’s Flood Database, which is managed by DELWP.
