Moulamein Flood Study Review

Council is completing a review of the Moulamein Flood Study, with support from WMS Engineering consultants.

The review will ensure 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 Draft 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 draft 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

The submission period has now closed. Any input received will now be considered as the team finalises the draft flood study report.
