Background Narromine Shire Council, through its Floodplain Management Committee is undertaking a Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan for the town in accordance with the New South Wales Government's flood prone lands policy and using procedures set out in the Floodplain Development Manual, 2005. The results of the Study and the draft Plan are presented in this report. The Floodplain Risk Management Study used the data from the recent Narromine Flood Study (LACE, 2006) to undertake a review of the physical, social and economic aspects of flooding on the Macquarie River floodplain at Narromine in order to prepare the draft Floodplain Risk Management Plan. The Floodplain Risk Management Study summarised present day flooding conditions as determined by the LACE, 2006 investigation and identified and assessed potential measures aimed at reducing the impact of flooding on both existing and future development. This process allowed the formulation of a draft Floodplain Risk Management Plan for Narromine having regard to both existing flooding problems and to potential future development. Overview of Report The Floodplain Risk Management Study and draft Plan are set out in this report. Contents of each section of the report are briefly described below:,

Wingecarribee Shire Council engaged Catchment Simulations Solutions to prepare a Flood Study for the Nattai River catchment. The extent of the catchment is shown in Figure 1 in report (refer Flood Study: Volume 2). The objectives of the Nattai River Catchment Flood Study are:,

AIMS OF THE CURRENT STUDY In broad terms, the current Floodplain Risk Management Study has investigated what can be done to minimise the effects of flooding in the Haslams Creek catchment and recommended a strategy in the form of a draft Floodplain Risk Management Plan. Specific objectives of the study include: a review of the results from the 1999 Flood Study; consideration of the potential for culvert blockages and associated flood impacts; the implementation of a community consultation strategy, to ensure community input is obtained at key times throughout the study; a description and quantification of the flood problems in the Haslams Creek catchment including the likely cost of flooding to the local community; the identification and assessment of potential floodplain risk management measures to reduce the risks and hazards of flooding; a detailed review of issues relating to planning and development controls within the floodplain. Don Fox Planning Pty Ltd has prepared a document entitled Report on Planning Issues as part of this study. It is reproduced in Appendix A. Included in this report, is a proposed draft Development Control Plan (DCP) entitled “Managing Our Flood Risks”; the development of a recommended draft Floodplain Risk Management Plan for the Haslams Creek catchment that outlines the best measures to reduce flood damage, based on environmental, social, economic, financial and engineering considerations.

Drains Hydrological Model Input and Output Files.

This report describes the hydraulic modelling for the first stage of a flood study of the Hawkesbury-Nepean Valley commissioned by the Water Board in 1987. The study is required in order to "determine the effects that various arrangements of major or future works for Warragamba Dam have on flooding in the valley" (Revised Brief for the Preparation of an E.I.S., Water Boards August 1987). Stage 1 required a simplified model to be developed, calibrated and used to provide a measure of the relative effects on flooding of options for such works. The model used is described in Section 2. Section 3 describes the calibration phase, in which three historical floods were used to adjust model parameters in order to match historical and modelled flood heights. The various options for Warragamba Dam flood protection works have an impact on the outflow hydrographs from the dam. Outflow hydrographs were determined for each option for five "design" floods and run through the calibrated hydraulic model. Peak flood heights were then tabulated and compared at three key locations In the valley. Section 4 describes the options while Section 5 discusses the modelling methods used to run these cases. The results are presented as a series of tables and graphs.

This study updates the previous Wrights Creek Flood Study (Patterson Britton & Partners, 2007) and provides Council with a suitable platform for undertaking the next steps in the Floodplain Risk Management Process. The XP-RAFTS hydrologic model developed in the 2007 Flood Study has been adopted for this study. A TUFLOW hydraulic model of the catchment has been established using up to date survey of the ground levels and culvert and bridge structures. The TUFLOW hydraulic model has been used to reproduce the historical flood behaviour from events in 1995 and 2002 and to define flood behaviour for a range of design events. Actions undertaken as part of this flood study include: • collection of additional survey, • development of a TUFLOW hydraulic model, • definition of the design flood behaviour, • assessment of provisional hydraulic hazard, • assessment of hydraulic categorization, • assessment of the model sensitivity to parameter changes, • assessment of climate change impacts on model results, • assessment of sensitivity of model results to the new ARR 2016 design inputs, • community consultation.

Draft Narellan Creek Flood Study Including Detailed Overland Flow: Volume 1 - Report & Appendices

Volume 1 Report This flood study has been undertaken to determine the flood behaviour in the catchment due to local storm runoff for the 0.5% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP), 1% AEP, 2% AEP, 5% AEP, 10% AEP, 20% AEP, 50% AEP and 100% AEP flood events and the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF). In accordance with its objectives, the study has determined the nature and extent of flooding through the estimation of design flood flows, levels and velocities. Flood impacts due to storm events in the Brisbane Water estuary are detailed in the Brisbane Water Foreshore Flood Study (2009). In undertaking the flood study, a hydrologic-hydraulic computer model of the major channels and floodplain within the catchment was established and verified against historical flood event observations. The hydraulic model was then used with design rainfall conditions to simulate design flood behaviour in the catchment. The study has defined Provisional Flood Hazard and Hydraulic Categories for the flood affected areas. The objective of this Study is to define the nature of the existing flood behaviour due to local runoff only in the Davistown catchment. To achieve the objectives, the following tasks were undertaken:,
