The Flood Prone Land Policy and the Floodplain Development Manual (NSW Government, 2005) forms the basis of floodplain management in New South Wales. Periodic reviews of Floodplain Management Plans form part of the Floodplain Management Process. The Committee has a broad representation including councillors, council staff, State Government representatives, stakeholder groups and community representatives. Since that time, the 2005 Floodplain Development Manual (FDM) has been published and now includes a section dedicated to emergency response planning for floods (Annex N).

Wingecarribee Shire Council is calling on residents living near Wingecarribee River to provide information on past flood behaviour as part of a major study designed to better prepare for future flood events. Council has engaged WMAwater Pty Ltd to undertake a review of the Wingecarribee River Flood Study from Wingecarribee Dam to Wallaby Rocks near Berrima. This is a review of the original flood study that was completed in 2014.http://www.kmbb.at/userfiles/fender-hot-rod-deluxe-manual-deutsch.xml The purpose of this new study is to review flooding impacts based on the latest planning guidelines that reflect industry best practice and updated rainfall data. The study will provide updated information that Council can use to make informed decisions in relation to trunk drainage provisions, development assessments, changes in the LEP and DCP, as well as inform SES planning and response. The flood study is currently in its inception stage where the consultants are collecting and collating data on flooding and the catchment area. This data will be essential in the development of flood models and that will enable Council to better understand flood risks and manage future development in the floodplain. However, residents are encouraged to do the survey online from the website. If you submitted information in the previous 2014 study, you are encouraged to resubmit this information as well as any new information that you have. For more information on the project visit wrfs.wmawater.com.au or WMAwater’s Technical Director, Mr Rhys Hardwick-Jones, on phone 9299 2855. Alternatively contact Council’s Floodplain Engineer on 02 4868 0888. Council will consult further when the draft report is ready for public exhibition later in the year. The updated document is now on public exhibition and you’re invited to review it before providing comments or suggestions. The draft Study and associated documents can be viewed in our Document Library, at Bowral, Moss Vale and Mittagong libraries or the Civic Centre in Moss Vale. If you wish to make a submission, it must reach Council on or before 7 January 2020. For a better experience, we recommend using another browser.

Further rain is forecast for the next 36 to 48 hours which could cause renewed river level rises. The situation is being closely monitored and revised forecasts will be issued if necessary. The Bureau of Meteorology has predicted at the Orara River: Moderate flooding is occurring along the Orara River at Coutts Crossing. Glenreagh Bridge - The Orara River at Glenreagh Bridge (manual flood gauge) peaked around 5.80 metres with minor flooding around 06:00 pm Sunday 09 February and is now falling. The Orara River at Glenreagh Bridge (manual flood gauge) is likely to remain above the minor flood level (4.00 m) into Monday afternoon. At the Glenreagh (Automatic Gauge) - peaked at 7.49 metres with minor flooding around 05:15 pm Sunday 09 February and is currently at 7.44 metres and falling. The Orara River at Glenreagh Automatic Gauge is likely to remain above the minor flood level (5.00 m) into Monday afternoon. Coutts Crossing (Manual Gauge) - is likely to reach around 10.00 metres Monday afternoon with moderate flooding. This will result in MODERATE flooding along the Orara River, impacting on the communities of Nana Glen, Glenreagh, Kremnos Kungala, Braunstone, Coutts Crossing, Middle Creek, Kangaroo Creek and surrounding areas. What you need to do: The Kremnos and Kungala area may be isolated, but with river heights falling evacuation routes may start becoming accessible once again. Widespread isolations are likely in low lying rural areas. Some rural roads may be closed due water in low lying areas. Residents of low lying areas near the river should keep an active watch on the flood waters. Keep in contact with your neighbours. Farmers on low lying land close to rivers and creeks are urged to monitor livestock, pumps and other equipment. Waste and chemical containers should be located well above predicted flood levels. Never walk, drive, play or ride through floodwaters. If it’s flooded, forget it. Motorists should avoid driving through flood waters, which may have washed away road surfaces and could be deeper or faster-flowing than they look. For emergency help in floods and storms, call the NSW State Emergency Service on 132 500. In life threatening situations call triple zero (000) immediately. The 1:100 AEP plus freeboard has been accepted by the NSW community over several decades as the appropriate level for managing flood risk, unless there are exceptional circumstances. Separate approval may be required to use the data for other purposes. Some of the data are the result of interpolation of observations reported at irregular time intervals. Rain gauge calibration test data may appear as rainfall on dry days. The data has been collected in real time either by polling the station or by the station reporting the data on its own by radio transmission. This plot brings together all the data received over the last 4 or 7 days (this varies according to how quick the river behaviour is). The data is extracted from the database and filtered to remove some bad data. This filtering of bad data is not comprehensive. They also show, where available the flood class levels. These are explained in detail in Flood Classifications. These levels provide a general understanding of the impact of expected flooding and the flood risk faced. Generally, Flood Warnings are issued when the river heights exceed the minor flood level. The data has been collected in real time either by polling the station or by the station reporting the data on its own by radio transmission. Generally, Flood Warnings are issued when the river heights exceed the minor flood level. Each table shows the data for a collection of river basins. The States and the Northern Territory are divided up to several such collections for easy viewing. They show the latest available river height observation and the time the observation was made. This information will help understand how a river is rising and falling, and which sites are exceeding flood threshold levels or other key heights such as a bridge or a causeway (culvert). Especially during floods, this gives some understanding of how high the water is above such crossings. The Flood Class is a classification of impacts from possible flooding. Generally, Flood Warnings are issued when the river heights exceed the minor flood level. If no data has been received within a given window, the station will not be shown. These observations may be from manual or automatic river height gauges. Some data checking is performed on the data, however it is still possible for bad data to appear. Care should be taken in using the tendency field in the Latest River Heights table, which tells whether the river is rising, falling or remaining steady at that time as it is often based on just the last few readings, and may not be completely representative of the true trend of the river. River height data are obtained from different types of observing stations around Australia. They include manual reading of staff gauge, automatic recording stations which communicate to a base either via radio or the telephone lines. This data is used for a variety of purposes, including flood warning, water resources and also for recreational use. Development within flood prone land can often be confusing and complicated. This page aims to provide a simple summary of some of the common requirements of undertaking a development within flood prone land in NSW as well as some of the key concepts and terminology used in floodplain management. It is by no means comprehensive and expert advice should be sought for individual circumstances. These flow paths can then become overwhelmed and the water spreads out, creating a flood. For example, many people assume that flooding occurs only along the edges of rivers or near the coast. In reality, flooding can occur in almost any location and the way we have developed our cities has exacerbated the problem. Another key misconception is the relative danger of flooding, some people assume that if you can swim then you will be Ok to wade through flood waters, or if you have a four wheel drive then you can drive through it. This is often a fatal mistake and it is never safe to enter flood waters. More than 50 of the flood related fatalities in Australia are as a consequence of people voluntarily entering flood water. Flood frequency is all about probability. The 1 in 100 Year flood is often mentioned in both the media and planning documents. Some people take the “1 in 100 year” to mean that a flood will occur every hundred years, however, what it really means is that there is a 1 chance of a flood this size occurring in any given year. In reality the “1 in 100 year” flood can occur multiple times per year, or not occur for a thousand years. A better way to describe a flood is to use the percentage chance that it will occur in a year. So the “1 in 100 year” is the 1 AEP flood (annual exceedance probability). This AEP terminology is now the correct way to describe a flood event. It is important to know what this means in terms of time scales and what we are planning for. Quite often a residential developer will be surprised that their Council says their property is flood affected and I have often heard something along the lines of “I’ve lived here for 30 years and have never been flooded”. Lets assume that your property is only flooded by the 1 AEP event, in that case there is only a 26 chance that a flood of size would have occurred during the 30 years. If you live in the same house for 80 years, there is only a 55 chance that the house will be flooded or alternatively, there is a 30 chance that it would be flooded twice in that time. So if you haven’t been flooded, it doesn’t mean that it can’t and won’t happen. In both the 2011 Queensland floods and 2007 Newcastle Flood (Pasha Bulka storm), many places experienced flooding that has a probability of occurring 0.1 in any given year (or a 1 in 1,000 year flood). Similarly, in 1867, the Hawkesbury-Nepean Rivers flooded to a level that has a 0.5 chance of occurring in a given year. The largest possible flood is generally referred to as the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) these floods have a much smaller probability of occurring, however they are generally far more severe than a 1 AEP flood. In many ways mainstream and overland flow flooding is similar, however there are a few critical differences that you need to be aware of: Flooding through overland flowpaths will occur far quicker and usually at the same time as the rainfall is occurring, there will be little to no warning time and emergency services won’t have time to prepare and issue evacuation notices Rivers are formed by water eroding the soil or rock to form a channel, the more land upstream of a point means more water contributing during rainfall and therefore more energy to erode a channel. As you move downstream there is more water, more energy and therefore a channel is developed, when that channel is overwhelmed in extreme rainfall, you have mainstream flooding. However it is always good to verify this from official information. There are two ways to determine whether your development is officially within a floodplain and it is important to do both. These are: This will contain details of flood constraints on your property. Councils usually offer a S149(2) and a more detailed S149(5) which is generally more expensive but has more detail. In some cases the flooding information is in the S149(2) but in others it is only in the S149(5). Councils are constantly updating their information, so if you have a S149 from when you bought the property 10 years ago, there is a chance that Council has since updated the S149 to place flood constraints on it. An LEP is used to define what type of development is allowed in different locations (land use zones). However they also contain maps of flooding and other constraints. These are free to access online, usually through the Councils website which will redirect you to a page called AUSTLII. Sometimes the maps can be a bit tricky to find inside the AUSTLII page, however they are there if you look through the table of contents. These are usually in a PDF format so you will then have to locate your property by comparing it to a street directory or Google maps. Some Councils now have a Google maps type website where you can search directly for your property. These flood certificates can provide useful information for the planning of your development. This understanding has been developed from a number of sources over the years, primarily through undertaking “flood studies” and also their experience of historical floods. The flood studies are generally funded by the Council and NSW State Government and are undertaken by consultants. Most completed flood studies are available for the public on Council’s websites. Note that flood studies are highly technical documents that detail hydrological and hydraulic modelling that has been developed in order to simulate rainfall and flooding. These models determine where flooding occurs and what are the associated depths and velocities for a particular AEP. Please note that the earlier you know what your constraints are, the less it will cost you. For example, if you design your new house and then find that the flood constraints require a re-design then you will be spending far more money than if you had incorporated those flood constraints in the original design. Councils have a number of documents explaining their requirements around flooding, and most will be more than happy to discuss these with you and spell out what you need to do, try to get this in writing so that you can refer back to it or pass it along to a consultant if necessary. This is something that anyone can do and you do not need to be an engineer, if you are especially nice and also lucky, the Council may even do the work that they would otherwise ask you to engage a consultant for. We have often been contacted by would be developers that have found out that their lot is flood prone and immediately called a consultant to sort it out. That consultant (i.e. us) will then call Council and spend time working out what exactly is required, this time will then be charged to you. Alternatively, a consultant may assume what is required from Council and undertake a costly study that may have been avoided had they spoken to Council. In either case it would have been better to talk to Council directly. In many cases Councils have already undertaken a large scale study (as described above) and this will not be required, in other cases you will need to engage a hydraulic engineer to do this for your site. For example, if you build a house across a flow path, not only will your house get flooded, it will slow or stop the water from flowing upstream and potentially flood, or increase flooding of your neighbours. Most Council have rules that a development must have either no impact, or a minimal impact on surrounding properties. In these studies the existing case is modelled and then the development is put into the model and the difference in water level is calculated. It will look at whether the occupants have enough warning time to safely evacuate and if not whether there is a safe place to shelter. Other considerations will include how often an evacuation is triggered or if the occupants need to shelter in place, is the length of time reasonable. The time and cost is partially dependent on the complexity of the development but is generally much more reliant on the location of the development in the floodplain and the amount of data that is readily available. At a minimum, expect that each study will take two days worth of work and it will take at least two weeks for all of the required data to be compiled and a report prepared. Feel free to contact us for advice on the associated costs. Councils set out their requirements in their Development Control Plans (DCP), Councils may also have a number of other documents that are outside of the DCP but are also enforceable (such as a flood prone land policy). You should ensure that when you engage a consultant to undertake a study that they guarantee their work will meet the requirements of the relevant Councils DCP and other floodplain management documents.A common one will be that all habitable floors should be above the level of the 1 AEP flood plus 500mm freeboard. Freeboard is added to account for the possibility of errors in the model as well as other factors such as waves caused by passing cars or wind. The constraints will also be determined on your development type, for example a nursing home will have far stricter constraints than a warehouse. This development type is often referred to as the “Land Use” in the DCP. The aim of the Codes SEPP is to reduce the workload on Council by eliminating the need for them to look at small or uncontroversial developments and at the same time speed up the process for the applicant. If the lot is a flood control lot, the requirements for the development are largely similar to what a Council will require and also refer back to the Councils requirements. Additionally, the Certifier will request that you engage a hydraulic engineer to determine whether the proposed development is within; a flood storage area, a floodway area, a flow path, a high hazard area or a high risk area. If the hydraulic engineer finds that it falls into any of these categories than the development will not be considered acceptable under the Codes SEPP and you will need to submit a development application to your Council. The Codes SEPP should not be seen as a way of cutting Council out of the process if you do not like the advice that they are giving you, especially as there is a good chance your development will end up back there. For your interest we have provided a brief description and link for each below. If you are interested in further detail on how floodplain management operates in NSW, or are involved in a Floodplain Risk Management Committee, it is an interesting read. It details requirements such as the forces that buildings must withstand. A list of guidelines, legislation, and policies, are available to download from thei r webpage. This includes the NSW State Rescue Board Policies on State Rescue Policy, Flood Rescue, the Vertical Rescue Directive and Rescue Vehicle Drivers Directive Their website is here. The 2018 edition is available to download at this link. It comprises principles, strategies and actions, compiled by practitioners with management and service delivery experience in a range of disaster events. The manuals include road rescue, urban search and rescue and flood response. In 2015 the Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience became the custodian of this collection and it now called the Australian Disaster Resilience Handbook Collection. This handbook collection is found at this AIDR Knowledge Hub Handbook webpage. The collection includes the US NFPA Fire Code 556 Guide on Methods for Evaluating Fire Hazard to Occupants of Passenger Road Vehicles, 2016 Edition and the US NFPA Fire Code 1670 Standard on Operations and Training for Technical Search and Rescue Incidents, 2017 Edition. Free access to NFPA Code 1670 is available using this NFPA link. It covers not only the techniques associated with conducting rescue using helicopters but also the underpinning knowledge needed to avoid disaster. The book is packed with clear, simple illustrations as well as numerous real-life examples. Nowhere else is it possible to learn about the latest subject categories, behavioural profiles, up to date statistics, suggested initial tasks, and specialised investigative questions. Whether the subject is underground, underwater, under collapsed rubble, on land or has fallen from the sky, this book delivers what search managers need. It covers topics such as leadership styles, characteristics of a good leader, and practices which encourage effective team participation in the management of various resources. Topics include: command structure and integration, safety practices, map reading and navigation, search tactics, and the study of lost person behavior. It explains random traveling choices of a lost person, in addition to behaviours such as route and direction sampling. This text provides an overview of hazardous terrain, search practices, search probability, applicable reports, and the calculation of POD and POS. This book provides all the critical knowledge and skills necessary for technical rescue teams to perform in these environments. It meets and exceeds all the job performance requirements as outlined in chapters 4, 5, and 10 from the 2008 Edition of NFPA 1006, Standard for Technical Rescuer Professional Qualifications to achieve the competencies as a Level I and II Vehicle and Machinery technical rescuer. All six sub-disciplines are broken down into Awareness, Operations and Technician level chapters to better help you and your organisation train to the levels your organisation is ready to deliver in your response area. When it is not possible to help the horse to self-rescue it is vital not to cause additional injuries or kill the casualty. Focusing on lessons learned from real-world experiences during actual disasters, the book will help to establish a well-trained professional 1st responder, individuals, and teams.

The deja vu arose because the idea had already been foreshadowed in Council’s first meeting following last summer’s bushfire disaster (see Beagle article 10 February 2020 - Council Wants to “Turn Off” the Biodiversity Conservation Act. Please Explain? ). My deep disappointment arose because this idea was yet another manifestation of the Standard Operating Procedure for planning in the Eurobodalla, which seems to consist of either ignoring, creatively re-interpreting or seeking to remove any provision which could potentially prevent any type of development on any land within the Shire, regardless of its fundamental characteristics, including critical things such as steep slope, flood hazard, bushfire hazard, endangered species or threats to water quality (so important to our fishing and oyster industries). For example, Eurobodalla Local Environment Plan (LEP)amendment 14 recently modified by Council at its 23 June meeting, and currently with the NSW Department of Planning for final approval, seeks the removal of E2 flood-prone land zoning of multiple flood-prone sites in the Shire and also rezones the same lands for residential development, often with significant increases in the number of lots permitted for development through a reduction in the minimum lot sizes allowed. For example, Council voted at its 23 June meeting to increase the allowable number of lots by 900 at one Moruya site, thereby placing many more future land owners at significant flood risk. Council justifies this approach by asserting that “ Any future subdivision on the land will need to mitigate the impact of flooding on-site and down stream ”. This clause is remarkably vague and fails to identify any specific actions or measures to achieve its desired outcomes or specify how compliance would be measured.
