This Preliminary Hydrology Constraints Assessment reviews information and data to understand the potential impacts of the Project on water resources within the Project Area. With respect to potential constraints on the proposed development, the most significant issues relate to flood risk and waterway riparian corridors. The scope of work involved in this preliminary hydrology constraints assessment includes the following: Review Project catchments, topography and drainage. Review of watercourse mapping. Identify potentially impacted catchments and associated water sharing plans (surface water and groundwater). Identify sensitive areas including groundwater dependent ecosystems that could be impacted by the Project. Identify and review Project Area soils. Develop a preliminary 1% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) flood extent based on flood modelling.

Abstract

The Greater Gippsland Offshore Wind Project (the Project) is located in the Gippsland region of Victoria, to the south west of Sale. This Preliminary Hydrology Constraints Assessment reviews information and data to understand the potential impacts of the Project on water resources within the Project Area. With respect to potential constraints on the proposed development, the most significant issues relate to flood risk and waterway riparian corridors.

The scope of work involved in this preliminary hydrology constraints assessment includes the following:

Review Project catchments, topography and drainage.
Review of watercourse mapping.
Identify potentially impacted catchments and associated water sharing plans (surface water and groundwater).
Identify sensitive areas including groundwater dependent ecosystems that could be impacted by the Project.
Identify and review Project Area soils.
Develop a preliminary 1% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) flood extent based on flood modelling.
