Murray Flood Study
11 Aug 2015
The coastal plain south of Perth in Western Australia around the Serpentine and Murray River floodplains is predominantly rural-zoned land that is under increasing urban development pressure. The area has relatively flat terrain, high groundwater tables, surface ponding in winter, wetlands of significance, an extensive rural drainage network and periodic riverine flooding.
Floodplain management is a key component of the urban planning process for the area.
The Murray Flood Study project was part of a larger project that developed a drainage and water management plan for an area around Pinjarra.
