Hazard | Likelihood | Severity | Consequence |
Flooding from culvert overflow | Flooding in heavy, continuous rain, if blockage occurs | During periods of prolonged heavy rain, could be severe | Properties and adjacent roads may be affected |
The main risks are flooding from Angarrack River via its Northern tributary and from surface water run-off when the drains cannot cope. This flood plan deals with these threats. | Some surface water drains discharge into the river, the level of which can rise quickly during long periods of heavy rainfall, preventing the surface water dispersing and putting several properties at risk. |
