Launch of the Safer, Stronger, More Resilient Region initiative by Australia's Toowoomba Regional Council

The Toowoomba Regional Council on February 25, 2015 unveiled the Safer, Stronger, More Resilient Region initiative with the public release of recently completed flood studies across the entire Toowoomba Region.

These studies form part of Council’s commitment to improve flood management and community awareness of flood risk.

Spread across 35 locations, the flood studies have been undertaken by specialist engineers and incorporate the latest data, modelling techniques and community input. The studies have all been peer-reviewed by independent flood engineers.

Council has established a dedicated webpage which provides the full studies, flood maps, location specific information sheets, frequently asked questions and the consultation schedule.
