Tumbarumba Flood Study

Council has engaged WMAwater to undertake a detailed Flood Study for Tumbarumba. The Flood Study will give Council a better understanding of the current flood risk to the community and support a range of Council functions including development, planning, community education and mitigation works.

This project is supported by the NSW Government’s Floodplain Management Program which aims to reduce the impacts of flooding and flood liability on individual owners and occupiers and to minimise private and public losses resulting from flooding.

Aims of the Study

The Tumbarumba Flood Study aims to provide an understanding of the nature and extent of potential flooding from the Tumbarumba Creek, and its tributaries including Sheep Station Creek, Pound Creek, Doctors Creek Pipeclay Gully (mainstream flooding), and local stormwater runoff that drains to these waterways (overland flow).
