1 Charlton Flood and Drainage Management Plan Charlton Town Hall 29 February 2012

2 Community Meeting Principles Reflection on the past to better plan for the future CMA and Shire is seeking to understand Wanting to hear all views allow others to contribute All perspectives are valid

3 Overview Progress of the Plan Flood Modelling Results Flood Mitigation Options Wanting to hear all views allow others to contribute

4 Purpose of the Plan Better understand flooding in Charlton Improve future flood warnings Identify potential flood mitigation options Recommend to government preferred mitigation option Community supported Practical and achievable

5 Progress of the Plan 55% complete Flood model is complete Results of January 2011 and September 2010 modelling Initial list of flood mitigation options identified Seeking further suggestions for flood mitigation options Every option will be considered

6 Progress of the Plan Meeting #1 (23 August) Outline the plan Seek input / local knowledge from community Meeting #2 (Tonight) Present preliminary results Seek feedback on potential mitigation options Meeting #3 Present final results Seek support for proposed mitigation option/s

7 BMT WBM BMT WBM will be undertaking the Charlton Flood and Drainage Management Plan Michael Turnley Project Director Philip Pedruco Project Manager Michael South Project Engineer Michael Cawood Emergency Flood Management We have completed 100 s of flooding and drainage studies across Victoria, Australia and internationally

8 Development of the Plan Collect data and information Create a flood model Test mitigation options in the model Make recommendations

9 Collect data and information Data collection Topographic data (digital elevation model) Historical flow data and flood level data Land uses, aerial photography, infrastructure data, flood photos and videos Local information and input Learn from local knowledge, e.g. where did water flow, how fast, how high etc Invaluable information

10 Create a flood model What is a flood model? Why use a flood model? How do we build a model? How can we have confidence in the model? How do we use the model to manage and mitigate flooding?

20 Flood Management and Mitigation Structural Levees Floodplain structures (incl. roads, development) Culverts Non-structural Response planning Flood warning Planning

21 Emergency Management Plan for emergency response Maps of depth and extent Maps of hazard (depth and velocity) Evacuation plan (who, when and where)

25 Structural Mitigation: Example Town Levee This is an example ONLY This is NOT the preferred option A levee around town has been modelled Not considered Exact location of levee How high a levee would need to be Where would there be increases in flooding Highlights town drainage

26

27 Town Levee: Existing 1% Flooding

28 Town Levee: 1% Impacts

29 Mitigation Options St Arnaud Road; Back St Arnaud Road; Railway line; Levees; Divert towards Yeungroon Creek; Improve flood warnings; Additional flood warning sites; Increase Avoca River capacity; Improve waterway management; Construct retarding basin/dam; Improve local drainage

30 Questions Feedback on the results Other suggestions for mitigation Website: refer to handout
