Question 1: What are the significant events in local conditions on the Victorian East Coast that support the WGCMA frequency of updates to the flood level from 2007 to 2024?

WGCMA response: Updates to flood levels aren't typically based on specific events but are generally done as part of a continual improvement program to provide better information to communities. Flood levels used for assessing planning permit applications also change as government policy changes. This is particularly relevant to climate change as significant policy reform has been done over the last 20 years or so as the science and political response to climate change has evolved.
