Flood study review completed

A ground study and review of the Middle Creek Flood Study for Pearl Beach has been completed.

The review indicated that a new calibration of the existing flood model would provide some benefit, according to a report prepared by Gosford Council staff.

The consultant, Coffey's Water Studies, was reported to be investigating the possibility of calibrating the existing model with the data already in hand or with data which might be easily acquired.

The report to the council's flood management committee stated that models of blockage scenarios would be prepared.

The project is expected to cost $42,470 with $21,698 having already been spent.
