Council is working with the people from the Merimbula Lake and Back Lake catchment areas to finalise the draft Flood Study for both lakes.
The NSW Office of Environment and Heritage and the Federal Ministry of Police and Emergency Services are supporting Council by providing technical assistance and grant funding through the Natural Disaster Resilience Scheme.
The study will establish the basis for subsequent floodplain management activities.
Council will hold two drop-in information sessions today from 5.00-7.00pm and tomorrow, September 22, from 12–2pm in the Sapphire Room at Club Sapphire. Each session will involve a 10 minute presentation with questions and private discussion afterwards.
