Help shape flood management priorities for Port Phillip and Westernport
22 July 2016
Melbourne has been working with experts across the Port Phillip and Westernport region to develop new tools that will help prioritise flood mapping, understand where flood management action is most urgent, and develop the best approaches for each location.
Melbourne Water will use the new tools to inform flood management activities across the Port Phillip and Westernport Region. The new tools will be made accessible and easy to use, so any organisation involved in flood and drainage can use them to help make decisions, and everyone can view and/or add to the information Melbourne Water uses for decisions.
Melbourne Water will be seeking industry feedback on the new draft tools starting early August, for a period of two weeks. This is your chance to test-drive and comment on the new tools before they are finalised.
