RESIDENTS of communities along the Goulburn and Broken rivers are invited to provide input into a key flood study being conducted by the Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority.
The Goulburn Broken CMA is conducting the Goulburn and Broken Rivers Flood Study to provide flood mapping for the Goulburn River from Lake Eildon to Shepparton, and the Broken River from Lake Nillahcootie to Shepparton, including for many areas which have not been flood mapped previously.
Residents including those from Thornton, Molesworth, Trawool, Seymour, Mitchelton, Nagambie, Kirwans Bridge, Murchison, Toolamba, Lima South, Swanpool, Benalla, Stewarton, Cosgrove South and surrounding areas are encouraged to provide feedback at a community drop-in session or online.
The community sessions are an opportunity to discuss draft flood mapping. Representatives of local council and the Victoria SES will attend. The CMA and its key partners will be available to discuss the next steps in the study.
The community drop-in sessions will be held from 4pm to 7pm on:
Tuesday 26 November: Nagambie Lakes Regatta Centre (Loddings Lane, Nagambie)
Wednesday 27 November: Seymour Recovery Hub (4 Guild Street, Seymour)
Thursday 28 November: Molesworth Public Hall (4355 Goulburn Valley Highway, Molesworth)
Draft flood mapping is available at www.gbcma.vic.gov.au and people can also provide comments there if they are unable to attend a community drop-in session. For more information contact the Goulburn Broken CMA on 03 5822 7700 or planning@gbcma.vic.gov.au. Sessions have already been held in Toolamba and Benalla.
