The Goulburn Broken CMA in association with Benalla Rural City Council has commissioned consultant Water Technology to carry out a detailed flood study for Baddaginnie.
The aim of the study is to gain an understanding into the nature of flooding for a range of flood magnitudes, provide flood mapping and intelligence to improve future emergency and community preparedness from floods, land-use planning and development considerations and a to consider any potential flood protection measures (high level conceptual review).
The important first step is the data collection phase
We are keen to learn from the community experiences and recollections from past floods
For example, flood photos or details such as: ‘The water was up to the bonnet of my car in the driveway at 1 Palmerston St Street on Friday at 9am in November 2022’ or: ‘The water was at the top of the culvert on the Flooded Road on Wednesday at 7pm in October 1993’.
Community members are encouraged to read the Frequently Asked Questions and Community Questionnaire.
Please return any comments back to us via the following email planning@gbcma.vic.gov.au
