Over the last 18 months, Mitchell Shire Council, supported by the Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority (GBCMA), has been working on the Whiteheads Creek Flood Mapping and Intelligence Study.
Seymour is a flood prone town from both the Goulburn River and from the Whiteheads Creek catchment. Flooding on the Goulburn River is well understood. This study focuses on the Whiteheads Creek catchment to help better understand its flood impacts on the town.

The following draft flood maps are available on the website:
- 1 in 100 year (1% AEP) flood of Whiteheads Creek (without levee)
- 1 in 100 year (1% AEP) flood of Whiteheads Creek (with levee)
- 1 in 100 year (1%AEP) change in flood level due to levee
- 1973 event (without levee)
The flood maps show a draft version of the expected peak flood extent and depth for the relevant event.
A 1% Annual Exceedance Probability flood event is a flood event that has a 1% chance of occurring in any given year.
