Huntly South Assessment 1

Huntly South Assessment Area 1 covers a specified area in Huntly South between the state highway and the river where the ponding capacity of land has been seriously reduced by past filling. Tighter controls on further filling are necessary to maintain the remaining holding capacity.
The layer is intending to safeguard flooding capacity during high rainfall. The area identifies land that has been filled to raise property above flood levels which has in turn created a greater risk to neighbouring properties, i.e. the non-filled sites will be affected by displaced flood water.
