We offer flood risk and impact assessment services for various residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure Development Applications.

Understanding new developments’ potential flood risks and impacts is essential for obtaining Development Application (DA) approval and ensuring compliance with local and state authority development controls.

Flood Risk Assessment for New Developments

Assessing the potential flood risk within the development site and the surrounding area is essential for any new development. We use available flood information and develop new flood models specific to the project to facilitate a thorough flood risk assessment.

Quantifying Potential Development Impacts

The flood impact assessment process involves quantifying potential flood impacts associated with the proposed development using a flood model. This step informs decision-making throughout the DA process and the subsequent development of suitable flood mitigation measures if required, to alleviate off-site impacts.

Flood Mapping

Accompanying the flood risk and impact assessments is the development of a flood risk map and flood impact extent attached to the necessary documentation to be lodged as part of the DA submission. The flood maps show key parameters such as peak flood depths, levels, velocities, hazards, and hydraulic classification, helping our team understand the pre and post-development flood behaviours.

Comprehensive Solutions for Flood Mitigation

As part of the flood risk and impact assessments, we offer tailored flood mitigation solutions that prioritise safety and flood resilience for various development applications, from residential properties to commercial complexes and industrial facilities. These solutions can involve upgrading stormwater drainage systems, constructing on-site detention storage, and raising the finished floor levels of the development.

Navigating the Development Application Process

Obtaining DA approval requires compliance with specific development controls set by local or state authorities. Our team is well-versed in navigating these requirements, ensuring your project meets the necessary regulations and guidelines. By entrusting us with your flood risk and impact assessment needs, we help streamline the development process, allowing you to proceed with your plans confidently.
