Myrtleford Flood Study

⁠⁠⁠This tender seeks to deliver works to undertake a detailed flood study utilising available LiDAR topographic data to determine flood levels and extents for a range of flood frequencies for the townships of Myrtleford and Ovens and the rural locations across the middle Ovens and Buffalo River floodplains.

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

• Provide flood intelligence and data for a range of flood event magnitudes suitable for emergency response and compliant with the DELWP Flood Spatial Data Specification;
• Provide flood data, including water surface elevation, flow depth, velocity and hazard for the full suite of flood events to inform statutory and strategic planning;
• Provide appropriate mapping for the 1% AEP event including climate change, to enable amendment of existing flood related controls in the Alpine planning scheme;
• Provide appropriate quality flood data and inform emergency response planning by drafting the appropriate content for the Municipal Flood Emergency Plan and Myrtleford Local Flood Guide;
• 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; and
• Support the assessment of flood risk for insurance purposes.
