In collaboration with the Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority and Engeny Australia, council is conducting the UT Creek (Alexandra) Flood Scoping Study and is using community feedback, along with mapping, rainfall and streamflow data, to better understand flood behaviour within the township.
UT Creek flows through Alexandra and into the Goulburn River.
Community members are invited to get involved by completing a short questionnaire, either online or in person at council’s Customer Service Centre or Alexandra Library.
Flooding issues and impacts can also be marked on an online map within the questionnaire, including damage to infrastructure, roads or water levels at different locations.
Engeny Australia consultants will be available to speak with people about their experiences at the Alexandra Council Chambers on Friday, August 11 from 2pm to 4pm and on Saturday, August 12 from 10am to noon.
Goulburn Broken CMA is leading a large-scale study of the Goulburn River, below Lake Eildon. The Goulburn and Broken Rivers Flood Study will help the Goulburn Broken CMA and other agencies understand how the Goulburn River affects adjoining land and will include the areas of Thornton, Whanregarwen and Molesworth.
The Goulburn Broken CMA will conduct community engagement later this year. Once complete, information from the study will be publicly available and will be used to evaluate mitigation options.
