Modelled overland flowpaths (OLFP’s) are being systematically assessed for their accuracy and impact as part of the Stormwater Catchment Management Planning process being conducted by North Shore City Council. Mitigation measures have been developed for properties at risk of habitable floor flooding.
This paper discusses the field property assessments which record both the effect of the OLFP on impacted property and any obstruction the property development has on the course of the OLFP.
The following key findings are discussed:
This paper outlines the field data collection process, data management, detailed assessments and the integrated approach between Council Departments and affected residents to provide preventative and mitigation measures to minimise the risk of habitable floor flooding from overland flow.
