A map of the high ecological value waterways and water dependent ecosystems for the Penrith LGA was prepared by the Science Division of the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment, with input layers and support for the map provided by the former NSW Department of Primary Industries-Fisheries and Department of Industry-Crown Lands and Water. The basis for the map arises from Science Division inputs to strategic planning processes. For example, the map has been included in the Land Use and Infrastructure Implementation Plans for the Wilton (Wilton2040, page 22) and Greater Macarthur (interim plan, page 36) Priority Growth Areas. This map was specifically developed for input to Local Government Local Strategic Planning Statements to support Council’s delivery of Strategy 25.1 of the Greater Sydney Region Plan.

The map shows areas where waterways and water dependent ecosystems are defined as high ecological value, based on definitions, guidelines and policies under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016, Fisheries Management Act 1994 and Water Management Act 2000. Water dependent ecosystems are defined as wetlands, and flora and fauna that rely on water sources (including groundwater). The map represents an overlay of 39 indicators being used by the State Government to define high value, however, not all 39 indicators will be present in any one LGA (see Attachment 1 below). For example, there are 17 indicators making up the map for the Penrith LGA. It should also be noted that the individual indicators have not been ground-truthed and it is recommended that field assessments and/or a comparison to local mapping be undertaken prior to any decisions being made. The map was created by initially placing a 1 ha (to correspond with a lot size) hexagon grid over the LGA, and attributing the grid with the area, length and/or frequency of occurrence of high value water dependent ecosystems. The purpose of the map is to identify strategic planning priorities for protecting and improving the health of high value waterways and water dependent ecosystems in the LGA. Once identified, the priorities can be used as a basis for identifying aquatic biodiversity refugia, stream rehabilitation efforts and setting management targets and/or land use planning controls that would protect or improve the health of waterways and water dependent ecosystems so they provide the essential services and functions expected of a cool blue-green corridor.

As shown in Figure 1, the study area extends across parts of the suburbs of Penrith, South Penrith and Jamisontown. The study area occupies the lower part of a larger 2,450 hectare catchment that originates in the Glenmore Park area and ultimately drains into the Nepean River just west of Penrith. Penrith City Council outlined a range of objectives for the Peach Tree and Lower Surveyors Creeks Flood Study. This included: to review available flood-related information and historic flood data for the catchment; to consult with the community to gain an understanding of flooding and drainage ‘trouble spots’ and gather information on past floods; to undertake a detailed survey of the creeks, open channels, bridges and culverts; to develop a computer-based hydrologic flood model to simulate the transformation of rainfall into runoff to develop a computer based hydraulic model to simulate the movement of runoff across the catchment; to calibrate and validate the computer models against observed information on past floods; to use the calibrated and validated computer models to estimate peak discharges, water levels, depths and velocities for the design 20%, 10%, 5%, 2%, 1%, 0.5% and 0.2% AEP floods as well as the 0.5 exceedances per year (0.5EY) flood and the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF); to verify the design flood results against other studies as well as the experiences of residents and business owners in the catchment; to produce maps showing predicted floodwater depths, levels and velocities for the full range of design floods; to quantify the capacity of the existing stormwater drainage system; to produce maps showing flood hazard and flood function (i.e., hydraulic categories) for the 5%, 1% and 0.5% AEP floods and the PMF; to produce emergency response precinct classification mapping to assist the State Emergency Service with emergency response planning; to quantify the potential impact of climate change on existing design flood behaviour; to quantify the potential impact of future development on existing flood behaviour to provide information to assist with land use planning activities; to develop a list of preliminary flood mitigation options; and to map the flood planning area and preliminary flood control lots.
