Appendix F - Flood Study

6              Conclusion
The updated local flood study has determined the extent of flooding around the site in the 1 and 10% AEP
climate change events. The 1% AEP flood levels within the site range from 8.21 to 8.56 mAHD.
Council’s regional flood model reports higher flood levels. The regional flood model levels should therefore be
referenced in determining the minimum floor levels for the development. The applicable flood level for each
building is provided in Table 5-5. The amount of freeboard for the use as an Aged Care Residential Facility is
required to be confirmed with Council. Freeboard of 300mm is required for standard residential development.
The extent of flood inundation has shown that the sites of buildings 3, 4 and 5 are inundated in the 1 and 10%
AEP flood events. The design of the buildings will therefore need to ensure that flood free access to each
building is provided, that any car parking has sufficient flood immunity and that the proposed development
does not result in a loss of flood storage.
