Flood study for Mosman Local Government Area
Consultation has concluded
Flood can impact private and public property and people’s safety. Mosman, like all councils, is required to assess and plan for the risk of flooding.
Council has received community input for the Mosman LGA Flood Study via a survey that closed Friday 2 February 2024.
The survey asked about experiences of flooding, views about flooding and ways to reduce or manage flood risk. Contributions to the survey will help to shape the development of future options.
The NSW government outlines the process for assessing risk through the Flood Risk Management Manual, June 2023. Council has engaged specialist consultants Manly Hydraulics Laboratory (MHL) to conduct modelling based on numerical data and best industry practice; reports of historical flooding from the community survey will also feed into the modelling.
The result will be a draft flood study available for public comment. This will identify flood affected properties and infrastructure.
Further study stages will analyse ways to reduce risk from flooding and plan for potential mitigation options.
Council also sought Expressions of Interest from community members wanting to join its Flood Management Community Consultative Committee.
