  • City of Glen Eira Local Flood Guide
    LocalCity Flood of Glen Guide Eira Local Flood Guide Flash flood information for: McKinnon & Ormond Caulfield & Caulfield South Glen Huntly & Carnegie Reviewed: September 2018 Local Flood Guide City of Glen Eira The Glen Eira Local Area The City of Glen Eira is located in Melbourne's south-eastern suburbs, about 10 kilometres from the Melbourne Central Business District. It covers 15 suburbs, is approximately 39 square kilometres in size and has a population of 149,000. European settlement dates from the 1840s when the land was swampy and used mainly for farming in the north and market gardening in the south. Significant and frequently devastating flooding has occurred in this area over a long period of time. Recently, large flood events were experienced in February 2011 and December 2016, both of which resulted in wide-spread, above floor flooding of properties. How the drainage system works in Glen Eira Waterways within Glen Eira have undergone significant change and modification as the area has developed and natural waterways have been constructed into an underground drainage network. There are some areas where there are no underground drainage pipes. These areas are generally in the older parts of the city and are drained by either private drainage pipes or by the kerbs and channels of the road network that drain stormwater into drainage pits. Most flooding problems occur because older suburbs like Glen Eira were built to different drainage design standards to those that apply today. Suburbs developed before the mid to late 1970s did not plan for how water would flow over land when the drainage system was full.This means that the excess floodwater still follows natural valleys and drainage paths, which sometimes run through properties and buildings.

  • Elster Creek Catchment
    MOU ELSTER CREEK CATCHMENT Purpose This Memorandum of Understanding: • Defines, at a high-level, the drainage problem of concern to communities living, working and visiting within the Elster Creek catchment • Sets out the core principles to promote collaboration between the four relevant councils and Melbourne Water to find effective evidence-based and innovative solutions to address the catchment’s flooding issues, where possible. • Seeks to achieve multiple benefits in all flood mitigation outcomes Parties The five relevant parties are: o Melbourne Water o The City of Bayside o The City of Glen Eira o The City of Kingston o The City of Port Phillip Problem Statement Flooding is a function of rainfall runoff exceeding the capacity of underground and surface drainage systems and waterways across the Elster Creek catchment, as well as storm surge and king tides. Climate change and infill development are very likely to exacerbate the frequency and impact of flooding events. Flooding within Elwood is disproportionate to its area of the catchment. In Glen Eira and Bayside, a large number of properties and dwellings flood during heavy rainfall events. Reducing the impact of increased runoff on flood vulnerable areas requires the Elster Creek catchment to be managed as a whole. All flood retention, detention and conveyance opportunities to reduce flood impact are to be considered irrespective of municipal boundaries. It is recognised that evidence-based and innovative solutions should consider co-existence of multiple land-uses and multi-functions to achieve optimal community benefit, noting that flood mitigation investment is mutually inclusive with both passive and active recreation.

  • C17 Risk Management Jul 20
    Glen Eira City Council Part C17 Municipal Emergency Management Plan RISK MANAGEMENT ARRANGEMENTS 1.

It is based on the International Standard ISO 31000 Risk Management. Glen Eira City Council is committed to meeting its obligations under the Emergency Management Act 1986. In doing so Council acknowledges that the development and implementation of preventative actions require the allocation of resources (human and financial), multi-agency support and broad consultation to ensure a co-ordinated and well-planned approach and outcome. 2. AIM The Community Emergency Risk Assessment (CERA) process is designed to systematically identify hazards, determine risks and prioritise actions to reduce the likelihood and affects of an emergency. 3.
