Further studies

  • Compile an asset register based on the extents of the inundation.
  • Undertake a risk assessment.
  • Determine and evaluate options to reduce / mitigate risk using a quadruple bottom-line assessment, and the necessary timeframes to rank priority.
  • Determine works schedules for future years. This could be done as part of an update to the local management plan incorporating the preferred mitigation option findings.
