Exhibition of the Draft Marulan Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan
On exhibition until Friday 28 February, 2025
Goulburn Mulwaree Council gives notice of the public exhibition of the Draft Marulan Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan. This Draft Plan follows Council’s adoption of the Marulan Flood Study in 2023.
Unlike Goulburn, Marulan is sited at the top of two catchments and does not have any proximity to rivers and the impacts of riverine flooding. However, Marulan does have creeks and watercourses which are located within the town and surrounding rural catchment. Furthermore, some areas within the town are known to experience problems with overland flows and stormwater. The risks to life and property still apply to flooding whether due to overland flow or riverine flooding.
The objective of a Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan is to develop an understanding of the impacts of flooding on the existing and future local community of the Marulan township and surrounding areas. The study allows for the testing and investigation of practical, feasible and economic management measures to treat existing, future and residual risk with the identification of appropriate management measures.
A Draft Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan has been prepared by GRC Hydro and is on public exhibition from Friday 31 January 2025.
