Flood Studies for Narrabeen and Manly Lagoons
Warringah Council is seeking the community’s assistance with its flood studies for Manly and Narrabeen Lagoon catchments.
“If you have information or photos of flooding around these lagoons or in their catchments, we would love to hear from you,” said Warringah Mayor Michael Regan.
Warringah Council, in partnership with Manly and Pittwater Councils, is undertaking detailed flood studies of the Manly and Narrabeen Lagoon catchments to improve our understanding of flood behaviour and identify problem areas.
The aim of the studies is to:
- define existing flood behaviour
- help identify flooding problem areas in Manly and Narrabeen Lagoon catchments
- assess the impacts of climate change
The studies will also identify the impact sea level rise and rainfall intensity will have on the flood behaviour of the catchments.
“The studies will help improve council’s planning and management, such as setting flood levels for development control and improving flood emergency responses.
“You can help by posting information and photos of flooding on the websites set up specifically for the Narrabeen Lagoon and Manly Lagoon flood studies,” said Mayor Regan.
