History
How Loch Sport got here
A timeline of the developmental factors and decisions behind the revised flood overlay.
Brief chronology of developmental factors
The chronology sets out the developmental factors that have shaped Loch Sport, including the 1998 rebuild of the Track 10 causeway, the 2004 Gippsland Lakes flood level modelling, the first formal flood overlay set at 1.9m AHD in 2006, the 2007 floods and the second flood overlay proposal at 2.7m AHD.
The 2004 flood modelling
Flood mapping for Loch Sport is derived from the Gippsland Lakes Flood Level Modelling Project (Centre for Environmental Applied Hydrology, University of Melbourne, 2004). The modelling utilised available meteorological and river flow records.
