Under the Policy, the management of flood liable land remains the responsibility of local government. The State subsidises flood mitigation works to alleviate existing problems and provides specialist technical advice to assist councils in the discharge of their floodplain management responsibilities. The Policy provides for technical and financial support by the State through the following four sequential stages: 1. Data Collection and Flood Study Collects flood related data and undertakes an investigation to determine the nature and extent of flooding. 2. Floodplain Risk Management Study Evaluates management options for the floodplain in respect of both existing and proposed development. 3. Floodplain Risk Management Plan Involves formal adoption by Council of a plan of management for the floodplain. 4. Implementation of the Plan Construction of flood mitigation works to protect existing development. Use of Local Environmental Plans to ensure new development is compatible with the flood hazard. Presentation of Study Results The results of the flood study investigations commissioned by Upper Lachlan Shire Council have been presented in five separate reports: Data Collection Report, November, 2012. Four Flood Study Reports (herein, collectively referred to as the Flood Studies), one for each of the four villages of Crookwell, Gunning, Collector and Taralga all dated February 2014 and adopted by Council on 19 December 2013. Floodplain Risk Management Study & Plan (this present report) The studies have been prepared under the guidance of the Floodplain Management Committee comprising representatives from Upper Lachlan Shire Council, the Office of Environment and Heritage and the NSW State Emergency Service. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The studies have been prepared with financial assistance from the NSW Government’s Floodplain Management Program and the technical support of Office of Environment and Heritage.

The history of human occupation of Australia is noteworthy in that Aboriginal Australians arrived ~50 ka and remained relatively isolated from the rest of the world until the AD 1788 when Europeans established a permanent settlement in Sydney, New South Wales.

  • Management Plan 2009/2010-2011/2012
    Upper Lachlan Shire Council – Management Plan 2009/2010-2011/2012 Mayoral Message As Mayor of the Upper Lachlan Shire, I am pleased to announce that the 2009/2010 – 2011/2012 Management Plan has been finalised after extensive community consultation. The Management Plan is an outline of the Council’s action plan for the upcoming financial year and includes a summary of major activities to be undertaken, a proposed revenue policy to fund that activity and the statutory statements, which identify performance targets and activities for the Council’s principle goals. Upper Lachlan Shire Council’s operating budget is $18.8 million and the projected operating budget deficit for 2009/2010 is -$287,169. The budget deficit is a result of the global economic crisis and its direct impacts are being spread widely throughout the Australian economy. The economic outlook looks bleak with Australia currently experiencing a recession. This will adversely impact on investment income, with an estimated reduction of income by $280,000, which is due to lower interest rates on Council’s cash and investment portfolio. Another significant contributing factor to the operating budget deficit is the notice received from the Local Government Superannuation Scheme advising that employer contribution rates to the “defined benefit scheme” will increase by 100% commencing on 1 July 2009. This increased contribution payable by Council will amount to an estimated additional $375,000 annually for possible the next ten years if investment markets do not improve. This is the first year that Upper Lachlan Shire Council has projected a deficit budget and senior management will continue to work hard throughout the year to identify efficiencies and operational cost savings wherever appropriate.

  • Descendants of James Pelham Hamilton
    Descendants of James Pelham Hamilton by Rhonda Brownlow and Monica Jones [email protected] Generation No. 1 1. JAMES PELHAM 2 HAMILTON (JAMES PELHAM 1) was born 1849 in Hobart, Tasmania, and died 08 Mar 1893 in Drown at Crookwell River, Binda. He married CAROLINE WEAVERS 16 Jun 1877 in St.James C/E Binda, daughter of THOMAS WEAVERS and MARY BROWNLOW. She was born 09 Aug 1853 in Crooked Corner, and died 01 May 1904 in Lost River NSW. Death by Drowning Crookwell Gazette Wednesday 8th March 1893 Mr. James Hamilton of Lost River was drowned in the Crookwell NSW River Saturday night last. Deceased had been working for Mr. Henry Carr, somewhere beyond Binda and was on his way home on horseback. He called at Binda where he was last seen by Mr. W. Rolfe. Next morning he was found washed up against a tree, by, we believe Mr. Webster, about ¼ mile below where the Crookwell NSW River crosses the Wheeo Binda Road. An inquiry was held by Mr. E. A. Webster yesterday and Mr. S. L .Cox, when a verdict of accidental drowning was returned. Deceased was about 40 years of age and leaves a wife and six children in very distressed circumstances. (He was actually 48 years of age) Flood at Crookwell NSW- A Man Drowned Telegrams from Crookwell NSW report rough weather. On Saturday a thunderstorm, which was usually severe commenced about four o'clock and within two hours two inches of rain fell flooding the low- lying portions of the town. Rogers' store and several private homes were inundated.
