Woolooware Bay Catchment Flood Study

Sutherland Shire Council has engaged stormwater and flood consultants WMAwater to undertake a flood study for the Woolooware Bay Catchment. The study will identify existing flood behaviour within the catchment and the possible effects of climate change, providing a basis for completing a management plan for the Catchment.

The objectives of the Woolooware Bay Catchment Flood Study are to:

• Define flood behaviour under existing catchment conditions.
• Address existing flood problems including tidal inundation and the possible impacts of climate change.
• Provide a sound basis for future floodplain management planning for the catchment.

Study Area

The Woolooware Bay Catchment is about 6km2. It includes the suburb of Woolooware and parts of Caringbah and Cronulla (see below for a map of the study area).
