Meet requirements and mitigate risks

Our Hydrology Reports ▸
Ensure your planning application has the best chance of being accepted & assess the flood risk of your area with a hydrology assessment and report.

With many years' experience in stormwater assessment and design, our team is equipped to help you understand the hydrology or flood risks to your development to help you proactively mitigate them.

If you're unsure what the existing hazards are on your site, estimate your hazard level using the calculator below!

Estimate Your Flood Hazard Level

Add your flood depth and flood velocity information from your Flood Level Certificate into the calculator below and get an estimated flood hazard vulnerability of your location, buildings and safe evacuation routes.

Where can I find my flood depth and velocity information?

Flood Certificates are provided by your local Catchment Management Authority (CMA), you can find your VIC CMA's here. You may have been provided with this information as part of a planning permit application, or these certificates can be included in your Section 32 statement of your property purchase. Depending on location or purpose, Flood Certificates may be known as Flood Level Certificates, Flood Management Certificates, Flood Tidal Inundation Certificates, or more variations of these terms.

If you don't have this information, but would like to understand your flood risk, our expert team can help you with a comprehensive hydrology assessment:

Secure a comprehensive hydrology report


If your property or planned development sits in an overland flow path, historic flood overlays, land subject inundation or even particular building overlays, then your property may be at risk of flooding events. Potential for flooding events presents a real risk to people, vehicles and property, and can result in planning application rejections.

To understand this risk and seek support for planning applications, reports prepared by our expert hydrologists can help model stormwater flows, map flood-prone areas and simulate the pre- and post-development scenarios of rainfall events.

Our comprehensive assessments will take into account flood risk, groundwater impacts, water quality protection, erosion and more to ensure that your requirements meet regulatory standards, including Australian Rainfall and Runoff Guidelines (ARR) and the National Water Quality Management Strategy (NWQMS).
