\n- analyse historical rainfall and flooding data;
\n- undertake a community consultation program;
\n- develop robust computational hydrologic and hydraulic models and calibrate them against multiple historical events;
\n- undertake a flood frequency analysis based on the historical record
\n- determine the flood behaviour including design flood levels, velocities and flood extents within the catchments;
\n- to assess the sensitivity of flood behaviour to potential climate change effects such as increase in rainfall intensities
\n- to assess the floodplain categories in accordance with Council policy and undertake\nprovisional hazard mapping; and
\n- to determine and map the flood planning area in accordance with the floodplain\ndevelopment manual
\n
\n\nMODELLING SUMMARY\n\nThe study comprises two distinct modelling components:\n\n- WBNM (Hydrologic) \u2013 The model was used to calculate the flow hydrographs for input into the TUFLOW model.
\n- TUFLOW (Hydraulic) \u2013 The 2D hydraulic model was used to assess the complex flow regimes of Paterson River and its tributaries and how these flows interact with the floodplain and levee system.

It contains a large natural harbour of approximately 134 square kilometres within the Port Stephens-Great Lakes Marine Park; its northern shoreline forms the boundary between the Port Stephens and Mid-Coast local government areas.\r\n\r\nThe estimated residential population Port Stephens Community Profile was 64, 807 in 2011.\r\n\r\nhttp://www.portstephens.nsw.gov.au/\r\n\r\nPortions of the Port Stephens Local Government Area (LGA) is affected by flooding. This is due to the presence of major river systems in the western regions of Port Stephens and the low lying topography as well as interactions with the coast and estuaries in the east.\r\n\r\nFlooding in the LGA is caused by:\r\n\r\n* river or creek banks being overtopped;\r\n* estuary levels rise and cover foreshore areas; and\r\n* stormwater drainage that is unable to cope causing overland flows (down streets or across other urban areas).\r\n\r\nCouncil manages land affected by flooding by:\r\n\r\n* undertaking studies that identify flood risk and flood levels;\r\n* undertaking floodplain risk management studies and plans that provide provisions for the management of flood prone land; and\r\n* assessing the compatibility of new development (and major renovations) with flood risk thereby encouraging development that is appropriate to the flood risk of the area.\r\n\r\nCouncil are currently undertaking the Williamtown Salt Ash Floodplain Management Study and Plan and the Anna Bay and Tilligerry Creek Flood Study.\r\n\r\nCouncil is also involved in the Paterson River Flood Study which is being administered and managed by Maitland City Council. Refer to Maitland City Council's website for further information.\r\n\r\nData from other neighbouring Councils Reports such as the Karuah River Flood Study 2010 and the Hunter River (Branxton to Green Rocks) Flood Study 2010 has been utilised by Council in the development of Flood Hazard Maps. These Reports may be available upon request from the neighbouring Councils websites.\r\n", "image_url": "", "created": "2025-06-24T04:46:42.886713", "is_organization": true, "approval_status": "approved", "state": "active"}, "original_harvest_source": {"site_url": "https://data.nsw.gov.au/data/", "href": "https://data.nsw.gov.au/data/dataset/nsw-fdp-paterson-river-flood-study-vol-1", "title": "DataNSW"}, "original_name": "nsw-fdp-paterson-river-flood-study-vol-1", "owner_org": "fe8fe8ff-9dfe-4f2d-8627-c4cef675bd7b", "private": false, "promotion_level": "0", "remote_last_updated": "2026-01-15 06:36:14.313973", "spatial": "{\"type\": \"Point\",\"coordinates\": [147.0179,-32.1618]}", "spatial_coverage": "New South Wales (NSW81093)", "state": "active", "temporal_coverage_from": "2025-12-17 05:39:18.306728", "temporal_coverage_to": "2017-06-19 00:00:00", "title": "Paterson River Flood Study Vacy To Hinton - Final Report", "type": "dataset", "unpublished": false, "url": null, "version": null, "extras": [{"key": "harvest_object_id", "value": "c94bd8b4-95c3-4de1-b7ec-eb1d417711d9"}, {"key": "harvest_source_id", "value": "9ebac586-8e51-4904-9f6c-d9b79726659a"}, {"key": "harvest_source_title", "value": "DataNSW"}], "resources": [{"cache_last_updated": null, "cache_url": null, "created": "2026-01-15T06:36:14.380372", "datastore_active": false, "datastore_contains_all_records_of_source_file": false, "format": "HTML", "hash": "", "id": "ad63eabc-289e-444b-b54d-e5f049672296", "last_modified": null, "metadata_modified": "2026-01-21T11:32:43.513706", "mimetype": null, "mimetype_inner": null, "name": "Paterson River Flood Study Vacy to Hinton", "package_id": "01b5d7e4-51fa-407d-874a-b7892386bba0", "position": 0, "resource_type": null, "size": null, "state": "active", "url": "https://flooddata.ses.nsw.gov.au/dataset/6d62b2d2-0868-4d20-82cb-30a158347de4/resource/97c6e6d4-1abb-4208-ab1b-49b3770ca84a", "url_type": null, "zip_extract": false}], "tags": [{"display_name": "Hinton", "id": "0b17119f-925d-4d77-9528-4104d7d67b23", "name": "Hinton", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}, {"display_name": "Paterson River", "id": "c0ea74cc-6d73-4fbf-ac7e-2a4aa683ad4a", "name": "Paterson River", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}, {"display_name": "Vacy", "id": "59a0ba6a-ac5a-4ff0-bf4e-95351dfd3ccd", "name": "Vacy", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}, {"display_name": "hydraulic model", "id": "5ea1bf91-c991-4e1b-808e-2528b9741aa5", "name": "hydraulic model", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}], "groups": [], "relationships_as_subject": [], "relationships_as_object": []}}
