Loddon Shire Council, in conjunction with the North Central Catchment Management Authority, has appointed HARC (Hydrology and Risk Consulting) Services Pty Ltd to complete the Wedderburn Flood Management Plan.
This project will involve modelling and analysis to define existing flood behaviour in and around Wedderburn, and the identification and evaluation of measures to mitigate and manage flood risk - including recommendations for flood planning overlays, mitigation works and infrastructure, updating the flood warning systems and emergency management plans.
The study is expected to take approximately 18 months, and once it is completed, Council will be able to make an informed decision about the best way to invest in flood management and mitigation in Wedderburn.
This project is funded by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA).
The project commenced in late July with the consultants beginning to collect information to inform their flood modelling.
A community drop in session will be conducted on Tuesday 2nd September between 2pm and 6.30pm at the Loddon Shire Council Chambers, Wedderburn, to enable anyone who is interested to learn more about the project and to share local knowledge of flooding risks and impacts with HARC.
Over the next few months, HARC will review information including previous flood events, rainfall, topography, existing infrastructure and climate change predictions to develop modelling of flooding in Wedderburn under a range of scenarios. This modelling will be made available for community feedback, and will be used to develop mitigation options.
