Nowra Creek is a tributary of the Shoalhaven River that drains the area to the south -west of the central business district and major residential areas of Nowra (refer Figure 1). It is an ephemeral stream that flows in a northerly direction, joining the Shoalhaven River just upstream of the Princes Highway bridge crossing. Browns Creek joins Nowra Creek near the intersection of the Princes Highway and Hillcrest Avenue (refer Figure 1). It drains that section of the catchment that extends to the east of the Princes Highway. The catchment of Nowra and Browns Creeks has an area of about 20 km2. The catchment includes the residential areas of western Nowra and the industrial precinct of South Nowra. Due to the limited flow carrying capacity of the channels of both creek channels, it is not uncommon for floodwaters to ‘breakout’ and travel overland across their respective floodplains. The Nowra and Browns Creeks catchment has experienced major floods in the past, most notably in 1974, 1978 and 1989. The most recent incidence of flooding occurred in 1999. When flooding of Nowra and Browns Creeks occurs, many of the roads within the catchment are inundated making them impassable for several hours. This has the potential to isolate residents and workers in the industrial precinct and to cause significant damage to existing infrastructure. As a consequence of these experiences, Council has adopted a policy of restricting development in low lying areas that are potentially vulnerable to flooding. Flooding of Nowra and Browns Creeks is generally caused by one of several scenarios occurring in isolation or in combination. These scenarios are: (1) Catchment response to intense rainfall over the local Nowra / Browns Creek catchment, resulting in the concentration of runoff within tributary streams and the “backing-up” of floodwaters where channel constrictions exist (e.g., Central Avenue culvert crossing). (2) Localised concentration of rainfall within the catchment, resulting in localised pondage of runoff due to inadequate drainage systems. (3) Mainstream flooding of the Shoalhaven River, leading to elevated water levels near the confluence of the Shoalhaven River and Nowra Creek, and the subsequent “backing-up” of floodwaters along the lower reach of Nowra Creek and inundation of the floodplain. In recognition of this flood history, and to assist in the assessment of future development, Shoalhaven City Council commissioned Patterson Britton & Partners to undertake a Flood Study for Nowra and Browns Creeks. This report documents the findings of the Flood Study, which extends from Central Avenue and Warra Warra Road within the South Nowra Industrial Area to the Shoalhaven River.
