FLOOD STUDY REVIEW: 2024

Murray River Council, in conjunction with WMS Engineering consultants are undertaking a review of the Moulamein Flood Study.

The Moulamein Flood Study was developed in 2019, prior to the 2022 floods, so we want to thoroughly review and update the current flood study with data collected from this most recent event - which had the largest flood levels on record.

The Flood Study review will ensure mapping and plans capture all relevant data to support flood preparedness and response activities in the future.

This review will align the study with the latest information, accurately reflect current conditions, and provide detailed insights into both river and overland flooding.

A major milestone was achieved on the 23 April 2024 with both Murray River and Campaspe Shire Councils’ adoption of the Echuca Moama Flood Study component of the Echuca Moama Torrumbarry Flood Study and Risk Management Plan. Interactive mapping and the report is available via the link below. 

The project team is currently working to prepare the draft Torrumbarry Flood Study and Levee Bank Assessment which we expect to be at draft stage by July 2024 and the Echuca Moama Risk Management Plan. These documents will thencomplete the overall project.

Consulting Engineers Water Technology are currently assessing the flood mitigation works identified during the January community consultation process.

Moama Floodplain Management Study 2001:

The Sinclair Knight Merz (2001) Moama Floodplain Management Study (as per below) predates Moama Levee which was completed in 2006. It is has been provided to the general public for information only. Engineering Professional advice will be required to ascertain the extent of the impact of the town levee on the Floodplain Management Study.
