Introduction The City of Port Adelaide Enfield together with project partners including the Coast Protection Board, Flinders Ports, Torrens Catchment Water Management Board, Land Management Corporation and Transport SA have commissioned this Study to evaluate seawater and stormwater flood risks in Port Adelaide. Funding for the Study has also been obtained from the Commonwealth Government under the Natural Disasters Risk Management Studies Program. The aim of the Flood Risk Management Study is to identify the risks and develop and implement a strategy to protect the vulnerable areas of the City from the risk of seawater and stormwater flooding taking into account the possible sea level rise and land subsidence over the next hundred years. This Study is intended to be conducted in three phases as follows: Phase 1: Risk Assessment/Preliminary Treatment – Analyse and evaluate risk of seawater and stormwater flooding and identify concept strategies. Phase 2: Risk Treatment Study – Develop detailed strategies, including design and development of management measures and development controls. Phase 3: Treatment Implementation – Implementation of control measures. This report examines Phase 1 of the Flood Risk Management Study.
