Update

The draft plan will be presented at the 17 June Council Meeting for endorsement.  



While our coast is highly valued and a key part of our identity, living along the coast means living with the risk of coastal flooding and erosion. This is why Council adopted a Coastal Adaptation Study in 2021.

The Study found that the Goolwa Channel and the Mundoo Channel are two areas most at risk from coastal flooding.

These areas already experience flooding during storm surge events, and this is projected to increase as the climate changes and sea levels rise. This means more people may be affected more often.

Council is proactively responding to this risk by supporting the preparation of a Community Coastal Flood Emergency Plan for the Goolwa and Mundoo Channels. This Plan will outline the actions the local community can take before, during and after coastal flood events to reduce their impact.

Council values and recognises the role of the community in shaping our future.
