Lower Morrison and Lower Wedgewood Creeks Flood Mitigation Opportunities Study
The study assessed riverine flood risks for Lower Morrison Creek and Lower Wedgewood Creek and recommend solutions to reduce risks.
About the study
As part of the town’s efforts to improve resiliency to climate change, more than 40 flood-sensitive sites in the 2008 Flood Prioritization Study (pdf). The report includes details on each flood sensitive area, mapping, and high-level options for mitigation.
The Lower Morrison and Lower Wedgewood Creeks Study Flood Mitigation Opportunities Study is a follow up to the 2008 study and includes a detailed assessment of riverine flood risk and recommended works to reduce these risks, in accordance with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA), Schedule B, process.
Riverine flooding is caused when creeks overflow their banks and spill into adjacent low-lying areas during heavy rainfall events.
The study is now complete. The project file is available below.
