Wrights Creek Flood Study Update (2019)

Created 22/01/2026

Updated 22/01/2026

This study updates the previous Wrights Creek Flood Study (Patterson Britton & Partners, 2007) and provides Council with a suitable platform for undertaking the next steps in the Floodplain Risk Management Process. The XP-RAFTS hydrologic model developed in the 2007 Flood Study has been adopted for this study. A TUFLOW hydraulic model of the catchment has been established using up to date survey of the ground levels and culvert and bridge structures. The TUFLOW hydraulic model has been used to reproduce the historical flood behaviour from events in 1995 and 2002 and to define flood behaviour for a range of design events. Actions undertaken as part of this flood study include: • collection of additional survey, • development of a TUFLOW hydraulic model, • definition of the design flood behaviour, • assessment of provisional hydraulic hazard, • assessment of hydraulic categorization, • assessment of the model sensitivity to parameter changes, • assessment of climate change impacts on model results, • assessment of sensitivity of model results to the new ARR 2016 design inputs, • community consultation.
