Tasmanian Strategic Flood Mapping Project
The Tasmanian Strategic Flood Map is a multi year jointly funded project by the Australian and Tasmanian governments. The project was developed following severe floods in 2016, which made it clear that it is critical to have an understanding of flood risks, so we can effectively invest in recovery and increase community resilience to future flood events. It will ensure that most Tasmanians will have access to a high resolution digital terrain model through the collection of light detection and ranging (LiDAR), develop the Tasmanian Flood Map to support a flood risk assessment, and the development of land use planning and building controls, partner with local governments to undertake detailed flood studies and evacuation planning for the communities most at risk of flooding.
