Balranald Shire Council wants to hear the public’s ideas on flooding in the Balranald and/or Euston areas.
The local council is asking if you have experienced flooding in Balranald from the Murrumbidgee River, or in Euston from the Murray River, or if you know of any drainage issues that regularly occur during local storms to get involved in the process.
They have received funding from the NSW State Government to conduct a Flood Study for each of the townships and surrounds of Euston and Balranald.
The purpose of the study is to define flood risk in each town, both due to riverine flooding (from the Murrumbidgee and Murray Rivers), as well as the overland flow risk from local storms.
This study is set to improve Council’s understanding of flood behaviour and impacts to better inform the management of flood risk in Euston and Balranald.
The study is currently in the Data Collection and Review stage.
Balranald Council is asking locals with flooding knowledge to fill out the questionnaire below or go and visit them at the drop in sessions, Balranald Library – Tuesday 22nd July, 2:00pm – 4:00pm and Euston Courthouse, Wednesday 23rd July, 3:00pm – 5:00pm.
