Consultants study floodplain risks

Webb McKeown and Associates have been engaged as consulting engineers to perform the Mudflat (Fraser Rd) Creek Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan.

The Fraser Rd (Mudflat) Creek Flood Study was recently completed.

The consultant is expected to publicly advertise the commencement of the study and will investigate various options to effectively manage the risk of flooding in Killcare.

Two-thirds of the project cost of $49,545 had been committed by the NSW Government under the NSW Floodplain Management Program.

Gosford Council is also contributing $33,030 to the project.

The potential flooding impact and structural stability of dams within the Mudflat Creek catchment will also be investigated with the results included in the flood study.
