The Georges Hall catchment area is approximately 140 hectares of\npredominantly residential land. Elevations range from over 50 mAHD in the east to approximately 2.5\nmAHD along the banks of Prospect Creek and the Georges River. The catchment drains in a\nwesterly direction along three distinct drainage lines though much of the flow is overland with the first\nnoticeable channel appearing within the Amaroo Reserve towards the downstream extent of the\nstudy area.\n\nThe Georges Hall catchment is bounded to the north by Flinders Road, south by Birdwood Road and\nBeale Street, to the east by the Crest Reserve and to the west by the Georges River. The catchment\nforms part of the wider Prospect Creek / Georges River catchment which discharges into Botany Bay.\nThe eastern boundary of the study area in Crest Reserve forms the catchment divide with the\nVillawood Drain catchment, which itself is a tributary of Prospect Creek. More information relating to\nthe hydrological catchment is outlined in the Georges Hall Catchment Flood Modelling Report, in\nAppendix B.\n\nThe Floodplain Management Process\n\nThe prime responsibility for planning and management of flood prone land in New South Wales rests\nwith local government. The NSW Government provides assistance on state-wide policy issues and\ntechnical support. Financial assistance is also provided to undertake flood studies and floodplain\nmanagement studies, and for the implementation of works identified in these studies.\nFlood Prone Land Policy and the Floodplain Development Manual (NSW Government, 2005) form\nthe basis of floodplain management in New South Wales.\n\nThe objectives of the Policy include:\n<ul>\n<li>Reducing the impact of flooding and flood liability on existing developed areas by flood mitigation\nworks and other measures; and</li>\n<li>Reducing the potential for flood losses in new development areas by the application of\necologically sensitive planning and development controls.</li>\n</ul>\n\nThe Policy provides some legal protection for Councils and other public authorities and their staff\nagainst claims for damages resulting from their issuing advice or granting approvals on floodplains,\nproviding they have acted substantially in accordance with the principles contained in the Floodplain\nDevelopment Manual.\nThe implementation of the Flood Prone Land Policy generally culminates in the preparation and\nimplementation of a Floodplain Management Plan. The Georges Hall Catchment Flood Study is one\nof the first steps in preparing the Plan, and involves an assessment of existing flood conditions\nthroughout the catchment. The steps in the floodplain management process are summarised in\nFigure 1-2.\n\nOutcomes from the Study\n\nThe main outcomes from this study include:\n<ul>\n<li>A database of all public drainage assets within the study area;</li>\n<li>Establishment of a computer model capable of assessing flood behaviour;</li>\n<li>Information on flood behaviour under existing catchment conditions;</li>\n<li>Information on potential constraints in the drainage assets for various storm events;</li>\n<li>A property database including surveyed floor levels, flood levels and the resulting floor level\nimmunity, expressed in the magnitude of a storm event;</li>\n<li>Predicted change in flood behaviour due to the potential impacts of climate change; and</li>\n<li>A model that can be used to assess flood mitigation options and future development proposals.</li>\n</ul>", "num_resources": 1, "num_tags": 2, "organization": {"id": "87dd8c0c-af2f-40df-b356-9efc8ea0f5f4", "name": "canterbury-bankstown-council-datansw", "title": "Canterbury-Bankstown Council", "type": "organization", "description": "A\u202fnew City of Canterbury Bankstown\u202fwas announced by the NSW Government on\u202f12 May 2016.\u202f The City of Canterbury Bankstown replaces the Bankstown and Canterbury Councils, and becomes the largest Council in NSW with 350,000 residents, and is in Sydney's south west.\r\n\r\nhttps://www.cbcity.nsw.gov.au/\r\n\r\nCouncil has a chapter in the Development Control Plan (DCP) - Part B12 - which deals specifically with Flood Risk Management in the Local Government Area.
