The township of Dungog is situated at the confluence of the Williams River and Myall Creek. Three smaller catchments including the township, Common Creek and Melbee Estate catchments also provide a source of flood risk to Dungog. \n\nDungog Shire Council (Council) is responsible for flood risk management and local land use planning within their Local Government Area (LGA). Council has commissioned Royal HaskoningDHV (RHDHV) to produce the Dungog Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan (FRMS&amp;P) on behalf of Council and the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH). \n\nThe present FRMS&amp;P included developing a Flood Study that defined flood risk in Dungog from all sources (i.e. Williams River, Myall Creek and local township catchments. The Flood Study was completed in February 2017. \n\nHistory of Flooding in Dungog \n\nThe extreme flooding that devastated Dungog on the 21st of April 2015 was caused by an East Coast Low that caused significant flooding and damage to a number of areas in the Hunter Region and Sydney and is often referred to as the April 2015 \u201csuper storm\u201d. The storm produced catastrophic flooding in Dungog resulting in three fatalities, washing four houses away and flooded some 80 dwellings, many to ceiling level. The flood event is likely to have an approximate annual exceedance probability (AEP) of 0.1% or an approximate frequency of a 1 in 1000 year average recurrence interval (ARI). \n\nOther significant floods include: The \u201cPasha Bulker storm of 8th June 2007 which flooded a number of low lying properties (on Hooke Street and Dowling Street) was approximately a 1 in 20 year ARI magnitude event. Three older significant events (with a 5yr - 10yr ARI magnitude) occurred in February 1990, October 1985 and April 1946. The recent January 2016 event was smaller than a 5yr ARI event.", "num_resources": 1, "num_tags": 0, "organization": {"id": "14c0b013-1eb5-4c3f-8624-f46bce1aaae6", "name": "dungog-shire-council-datansw", "title": "Dungog Shire Council", "type": "organization", "description": "__The Shire of Dungog__ is part of the Hunter Region and the Lower Hunter Sub-Region and is bound by Great Lakes Shire to the East, Singleton Shire to the West, Scone Shire to the North-west, Gloucester Shire to the North and by Port Stephens Shire and the City of Maitland to the South.\r\n\r\n__Geography__\r\n\r\nDungog Shire covers an area of 2248 sq Kilometres. The Council is situated in the Barrington tops region and has a population of 8,500. The Shire consists predominantly of very rugged to hilly country which becomes less rugged from north to south. The major population centres within the Shire include:\r\n\u2022Dungog\r\n\u2022Gresford\r\n\u2022Paterson\r\n\u2022Vacy\r\n\u2022Martins Creek\r\n\u2022Clarence Town\r\n\r\n__Rivers__\r\n\r\nThe Shire has two principal rivers, the Williams in the east of the Shire and the Paterson in the west. Both are tributaries of the Hunter, and both traverse the Shire in a general north-west to south-east direction. The Williams and Paterson Rivers drain from the Barrington Plateau and contribute over 40% of the flow of the Hunter. Lostock Dam was constructed on the Paterson River in the 1970's to regulate flow and prevent lack of water in drought.\r\n\r\nhttp://www.dungog.nsw.gov.au/about-shire", "image_url": "", "created": "2025-06-24T03:40:09.302246", "is_organization": true, "approval_status": "approved", "state": "active"}, "original_harvest_source": {"site_url": "https://data.nsw.gov.au/data/", "href": "https://data.nsw.gov.au/data/dataset/nsw-fdp-dungog-floodplain-risk-management-study-and-plan-final-report", "title": "DataNSW"}, "original_name": "nsw-fdp-dungog-floodplain-risk-management-study-and-plan-final-report", "owner_org": "14c0b013-1eb5-4c3f-8624-f46bce1aaae6", "private": false, "promotion_level": "0", "remote_last_updated": "2026-01-14 05:59:42.560889", "spatial": "{\"type\": \"Point\",\"coordinates\": [147.0179,-32.1618]}", "spatial_coverage": "New South Wales (NSW81093)", "state": "active", "temporal_coverage_from": "2016-04-01 00:00:00", "temporal_coverage_to": "2017-10-11 00:00:00", "title": "Dungog Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan", "type": "dataset", "unpublished": false, "url": null, "version": null, "extras": [{"key": "harvest_object_id", "value": "eb1c4206-1b69-4a8d-b3d9-626e210ee9f6"}, {"key": "harvest_source_id", "value": "9ebac586-8e51-4904-9f6c-d9b79726659a"}, {"key": "harvest_source_title", "value": "DataNSW"}], "resources": [{"cache_last_updated": null, "cache_url": null, "created": "2026-01-14T05:59:42.577019", "datastore_active": false, "datastore_contains_all_records_of_source_file": false, "format": "HTML", "hash": "", "id": "7a629e3c-dca7-4ee3-aa4e-01e0c29e85c3", "last_modified": null, "metadata_modified": "2026-01-22T01:24:00.906037", "mimetype": null, "mimetype_inner": null, "name": "Dungog Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan - report", "package_id": "fdab46e4-5c85-49c6-90d1-abd31b89c1d8", "position": 0, "resource_type": null, "size": null, "state": "active", "url": "https://flooddata.ses.nsw.gov.au/dataset/c9e98994-82fc-4548-8532-c7b29b3d373f/resource/503e64c2-e6db-4107-83e8-7cfd5312f08a", "url_type": null, "zip_extract": false}], "tags": [], "groups": [], "relationships_as_subject": [], "relationships_as_object": []}}
