Stawell Flood Study

What you said

What we did

Flood shown on property at Short Street unlikely to reach extents shown

Revisited model inputs

Flood water reaches the front fence during large events on Mareli Street

Revisited model inputs

Water flows through backyards between Freeland Avenue and Warren Street

Test to see if enlargement of Grant Street basin would reduce flooding in backyards

Flooding doesn’t reach the shed on Holloway Road East

Incorporated the observation into the model

Clean up area in waterway crossing Ararat Road near Sloane Street

Investigate whether this is feasible

Properties near Franklin Street experience flooding. The drain between Lillian Street and Clifton Avenue requires clearing.

Test to see if enlargement of Clifton Avenue culverts assists in drainage. Assess options for improving drainage infrastructure to reduce flooding.

Flood extents reach low lying parts only of the paddock at the rear of Ormston Road property. No buildings currently sited on this part of the paddock.

Incorporated the observation into the model. Possible future overlays to ensure only appropriate development occurs.

Flooding not experienced at Clifton Avenue

Revisited model inputs

Area around house, road easement and lot at White Street not flooded

Revisited model inputs

Flooding of property occurs near Oregan and William Streets intersection

Test improved pit catchment rates and consider construction of kerb and channel
