Nowra and Browns Creeks Floodplain Risk Management Study

Cardno were commissioned by Shoalhaven City Council to undertake the Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan for the Nowra and Browns Creeks catchment. The study has been undertaken to define the existing flooding behaviour and associated hazards of the study area, and to investigate possible mitigation options to reduce flood damage and risk. The tasks were undertaken alongside community consultation to ensure that community concerns were addressed. This report details the proposed implementation strategy for the flood risk management options identified in the Floodplain Risk Management Study (Cardno, 2015).
