  • The Nature of Flooding in the Kempsey Shire
    ANNEX A TO THE KEMPSEY SHIRE LOCAL FLOOD PLAN THE NATURE OF FLOODING IN THE KEMPSEY SHIRE CATCHMENT FEATURES Except for a small area in the south-east which is drained by the Maria River, the entire Kempsey Shire falls within the catchment area of the Macleay River (see Maps 3 and 4). The river rises well to the west of the shire in the Guyra, Dumaresq, Armidale, Uralla and Walcha areas of the Great Dividing Range, its tributaries extending for a distance of about 160 kilometres from the coast. The whole catchment covers 11,500 square kilometres. The Macleay River valley consists of three distinct zones: 1. The New England Tablelands section, where the principal tributaries (the Chandler, Muddy and Apsley rivers) rise. This section is entirely outside Kempsey Shire. 2. The Gorge section, where the rivers leave the tablelands in a series of waterfalls and join to form the Macleay River in the well-defined gorge zone. Here the valleys are steep sided, stream gradients are steep and flood flow velocities are high. On this section there are several minor tributaries (the Parrabel, Hickeys, Georges and Nulla Nulla creeks and Dykes River) but no major ones. Below the Hickeys Creek confluence the topography becomes less severe as the river emerges from the gorges. 3. The lower valley section which begins at the upper limit of tidal influence about 16 kilometres upstream of Kempsey. Here there are extensive alluvial flats, occupying some 43,000 hectares, and well- defined natural levees along the river and its tributaries (the Belmore River and Christmas, Kinchela and Clybucca creeks).
