8. CONCLUSSIONS
Clearing of the natural debris from the Wooroi Creek floodplain and creek system would be
expected to provide only a marginal and relatively short term potential reduction in major event peak
flood levels through the estate. Generally, clearing of natural debris from a natural creek system is
not considered best practice for flood mitigation. The main exception to this is where debris is
located near a hydraulic structure that is at risk of becoming blocked.
It is noted that there may be other reasons to carry out certain debris clearing activities, such as
improved amenity, however the benefits of these would need to be weighed against the monetary
and environmental cost of these activities.
Please feel free to contact us with any queries and we look forward to hearing any feedback you
may have.
Kind Regards,
