Another important update released by Moreton Bay
Regional Council (MBRC) is a second type of Flood Check Report. The
two types of Flood Check Reports are presented below:
1.
Flood
Check Property Report
2.
Flood
Check Development Report
MBRC describe each of these reports as presented
below.
"A
Flood Check Report describes the existing flooding conditions that
have been identified for a given property. These reports can prove
beneficial when preparing a flood emergency plan or applying for
flood insurance."
"For
anyone proposing new building and/or development works you are
encouraged to read the planning scheme, together with a free Flood
Check Development Report. These reports provide information for
property owners and potential developers, to help understand the
flood related requirements of Moreton Bay Regional Council's
Planning Scheme."
The Flood Check Development Report provides
flood level data (for the year 2100) with an allowance for fully
developed catchments, climate change, predicted sea level rises and
blockages to drain systems.
The two Flood Check Reports can be viewed on
Moreton Bay Regional Council's website or via the link below.

Project Watch
Earlier this month we participated in the
inspection of one of our previous projects on the Gold Coast. Our
role in the project included an analysis of the overland flow and
creek flooding affecting the site. The proposed design included a
bridge crossing overland the overland flow path. The formalisation
of the overland flow path through the site was also part of our
design. The development is now under construction however the
features which we were involved in designing are mostly complete.
Presented below are some photographs of bridge crossing and flow
path.
Photograph 1 - Looking at
the flow path and the bridge crossing.
Photograph 2 - Looking at
the flow path from the bridge.
Photograph 3 - Looking upstream
at the bridge.
Revegetation works through the flow path are yet
to be completed as construction is still ongoing. It's always great
to have the opportunity to see a finished product!
