Property-Specific Flood Charts

Property-specific flood charts have been produced for each potentially flood affected property on the current Shepparton-Mooroopna flood database up to and including the 100-year flood.

Flood warnings always include a predicted maximum river gauge reading and estimated time of arrival of the peak. For the Shepparton-Mooroopna area these warnings include a predicted peak level on the Broken River at Orrvale, Seven Creeks at Kialla West, Goulburn River at Shepparton as well as the new Goulburn River gauge at Arcadia Downs.

Please note: this data was collected in 2000, and not all properties in the Greater Shepparton area were surveyed.

The flood charts provide important flood gauge information for each property including the following information to help prepare Personal Flood Action Plans -

• Flood gauge most relevant to the property, eg Shepparton for the Goulburn River downstream from Mooroopna, Goulburn River at Arcadia Downs for properties upstream of Mooroopna, Orrvale for properties along Broken River and Kialla West for properties along Seven Creeks. 
• The approximate gauge height when flooding of the property and floor level is likely to commence.
• The 100-year flood level in relation to the property.
• Explanatory notes detailing the peak gauge heights for the May 1974 and October 1993 floods on the most relevant gauge for the property.
• Key sources of flood information, including the designated emergency local radio station and contact details for the Bureau of Meteorology, Council and Victoria State Emergency Service.
• Additional explanatory notes and qualifying advice about using the flood chart.

Flood charts for your property can be obtained by entering your street address into the field above or by contacting Council.
