Consultation has concluded
We’ve updated the Wollongong City Flood Study and would like to share it with the community.
The community contributed valuable information to the review, with Council receiving hundreds of submissions about the flooding and drainage problems they’d experienced on their properties. There is now a draft addition to the Flood Study with information on how the review was done and what the results are.
The updated Study explains the ways flooding happens in the Wollongong City catchment (see catchment map overleaf). It uses Council’s revised Blockage Policy, which was updated in 2016. This Policy helps us to work out how the blockage of stormwater structures might affect flooding. The Study considers recent urban developments, changes to the Gurungaty waterway and information collected after recent flood events. It also answers questions from the community about the flooding experienced in recent years. Read the Frequently Asked Questions to learn more about this and other updates to the Study.
Come along to one of our drop-in community information sessions for a chat with the floodplain engineers working on the review. These are drop-in sessions, so you can come in at any time.
