On an annual basis floods impact many Australian communities. Some communities are inundated repeatedly over a period of a few years due to inappropriate urban development in flood plain areas. This results in significant logistics for emergency management and disruption to communities. It further results in considerable cost to all levels of government to effect damage repair and enable community recovery. Significantly, there is a need for supporting information on the cost effectiveness of mitigating the risk posed by existing buildings either through retrofit, reconstruction on the site or relocation. The project will address the need for an evidence base to inform decision making on the mitigation of the community risk posed by Australian residential buildings located in flood plain environments, either through poor planning, or placed there by design as part of future planned development.
