FAQ

As part of the Sunday Creek Catchment Flood Study which commenced recently, Mitchell Shire Council is planning to carry out a community engagement process in order to collect flood related information from the community. We are looking for local knowledge and photos of previous flood events in the region.

Flood studies are very important in early identification of flood risks to determine potential mitigation and warning measures. They also assist with Emergency Management Planning and preparation of Municipal Flood Emergency Plans. 

These studies can also be used to inform future planning decisions for development related matters as well as planning schemes.

 All these objectives will assist Council to ensure our communities are safer and more resilient to flood situations in the future. 

The main townships within the Sunday Creek catchment include: •  Broadford    •  Coulson Crossing    •  Heathcote Junction •  Kilmore   •  Kilmore East   •  Pyalong •  Wandong   •  Wall Crossing  •  Waterford Park
