\"Bushy<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Parts of Bushy Park, Macquarie Plains, Glenora, Plenty, Gretna, Hayes and surrounding areas are subject to flooding from the Derwent and\/or its tributaries, such as the Styx River and the Plenty River.  The Derwent River and its tributaries may flood at the same time or at different times. Low lying areas may also be impacted by storm water runoff following local high rainfall events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The maps show the estimated flood levels for widespread rain that has a 2%, 1% and 0.5% chance of happening any year (2%, 1% and 0.5% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP)). You are likely to experience this level of flooding at least once in your lifetime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Widespread heavy rainfall in the Derwent catchment can cause widespread flooding particularly around Bushy Park and Glenora\u2019s agricultural areas and nearby homes and other property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melting snow, rain on snow, the level of soil moisture and the dam levels can impact flood levels.  However, dam level management is not likely to have any significant impact during a major flood event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Styx River flooding can impact agricultural land around Glenora and Bushy Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flooding in the Plenty River can flood areas around Salmon Ponds, and properties near where the Plenty River joins the Derwent, particularly if the Derwent River is in flood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The area has a long history of flooding.  The most significant flood since European settlement in 1960 flooded large areas of farmland, many homes and other buildings and isolated the area. Flooding also happened in 1916, 1922, 1923, 1924, 1946, 1947, 1948, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1958, 1962, 1970, 1971, 1974, 1975, 1980, 1988, 1991, 1994, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2016 and 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to be prepared for flooding events that may not have happened within most people\u2019s living memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
