Shoalhaven City Council has been notified of a data breach of the ‘OracleCMS’ which the Council uses as its after-hours phone call service provider.
Council is experiencing delays in assessment timeframes. The Assessment Team are working through applications at full capacity and request patience with our staff during this time.
Council received grant funding from the Australian Government through the National Recovery and Resilience Agency’s Preparing Australian Communities Program – Local Stream to undertake the Willinga Lake Flood Study and Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan to investigate the flood risk within the catchment.
The Bawley Point and Kioloa villages are all accessed by Bawley Point Road which is occasionally inundated when water levels are elevated in Willinga Lake. The nature of the flood risk in the Willinga Lake Catchment is mainly from potential isolation to more than 1,000 properties, businesses, and three caravan parks, with fewer properties at risk from direct flood inundation. The flood risk to these communities is expected to be exacerbated by predicted climate change impacts, both in terms of frequency and magnitude. Recommended management measures to reduce the flood risk within this catchment as an outcome of this project may include infrastructure and emergency management procedures.
This project is being undertaken in accordance with the NSW Flood Prone Land Policy, the NSW Floodplain Development Manual (2005) and in close collaboration with the NSW State Emergency Services (SES), the NSW Department of Planning and Environment (DPE), and other agencies and stakeholders as required.
