Last modified: September 25, 2009 - 2:47 PM
Wingecarribee Shire Council has engaged a consultant, Cardno Lawson Treloar, to undertake a flood study of the Burradoo BU2 catchment.
The catchment covers an area of 244 hectares and stretches from the ridgeline to the west of Eridge Park Road, centring on the intersection of Moss Vale Road and Holly Road, it then crosses Burradoo Road near the Yean Street intersection before outletting under the railway just north of the Burradoo station to join Mittagong Creek. The study includes all surrounding land that drains into this creek system.
The aim of the study is to assess potential flood behaviour in the study area. The study will form part of the overall Floodplain Risk Management process in accordance with the NSW State Government Floodplain Development Manual.
The work to be undertaken by the consultant includes:
· Data collection on historical flood events
· Modelling of the catchment runoff
· Assessment of flood behaviour in the catchment
