Moulamein Flood Study Review

Consultation has concluded

Council has formally endorsed the Moulamein Flood Study Review Final Report at the October 2025 Council meeting.

The decision follows a public exhibition period.

The review ensures all mapping and plans capture all relevant data to support flood preparedness and response activities in the future.


Background

Following the significant 2022 flood event in Moulamein, Murray River Council has undertaken a comprehensive review of the Moulamein Flood Study to ensure our community has up-to-date, accurate information about local flood risks.

Developed in conjunction with VMS Engineering, the review updates flood risk data using new modelling aligned with current Australian Guidelines and recent flood data.


The Review

The Moulamein Flood Study Review identifies riverine and overland flood risks in and around Moulamein. It provides updated technical data, mapping, and information to guide flood emergency response, land use planning, and community preparedness.

The study includes:

  • Revised flood mapping using updated modelling and recent flood data
  • Analysis of levee performance under different flood scenarios
  • Hazard categorisation to understand flood impacts
  • Recommendations to assist with emergency response planning and land use controls.


Your Input

A Community Reference Committee was formed specifically for the project, with community consultation on the draft report undertaken in August 2025.

All submissions are included and responded to in Appendix A of the final report.

We thank the community for their feedback. It is essential that residents and landowners have input as it ensures the study reflects local knowledge and experiences.
