FACTS: Flooding

How can you reduce flooding?

  • Use porous paving or replace sealed surfaces with grass and gardens to allow more water to infiltrate into the ground.
  • Maintain your on-site stormwater detention system.
  • Promptly report to your council illegal dumping in creeks and drains.
  • Keep your street drains clean to prevent blockages.
  • Control sediment erosion and run-off on building sites.
  • Get advice on water sensitive urban design.
