Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Adjudication Activity Data

Every day, individuals and organisations enter into contracts for building and construction – and sometimes disputes arise over payment.

The Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 2002 (known as the SOP Act) helps ensure that any person who carries out construction work or supplies related goods and services under a construction contract gets paid.

It is designed to provide a fast and inexpensive process to recover payments due under a construction contract, without the need for lawyers to become involved.

The Building and Plumbing Commission (BPC), formerly Victorian Building Authority (VBA), monitors the operation of the SOP Act.  It does not nominate adjudicators or take part in payment disputes. This is the role of Authorised Nominating Authorities (ANAs) who are authorised by the BPC to perform this service

The data covers adjudications that have occurred in the context the SOP Act.

Elliot Lake - Little Lake Floodplain Risk Management Study

<strong>Executive Summary</strong>

Cardno were commissioned by Shellharbour City Council to undertake the Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan
for the Elliot Lake – Little Lake catchment area. The Elliot Lake – Little Lake catchment lies south of Lake Illawarra in the
Shellharbour LGA and drains to the Tasman Sea via Elliot Lake – Little Lake. The catchment covers approximately 12.4
km2 and includes the suburbs of Barrack Heights, Shellharbour, Flinders, Blackbutt and large parts of Mt Warrigal and
Warilla. The majority of the catchment is urbanised with predominantly residential development and some business and
light industry. Blackbutt Forest Reserve and the area upstream of the Princes Highway in the southern part of the
catchment form the two main undeveloped areas.
The main waterways of the catchment are Bensons Creek, Bensons Tributary and Tongarra Creek. Bensons Creek and
Bensons Tributary drain the northern part of the study area, whilst Tongarra Creek drains the southern part. Both creeks
drain into Elliot Lake – Little Lake which discharges to the Tasman Sea at Barrack Point. Most of these waterways are
natural channels, except for:
<ul>
<li>

A piped section running from Andrew Park to Shellharbour War Memorial Park;
</li>
<li>

A short concrete lined section in Bensons Creek adjacent to Shellharbour War Memorial Park; and
</li>

Lower Ourimbah Creek Floodplain Risk Management Study Review and Plan

The primary objective of the Lower Ourimbah Creek Floodplain Risk Management Study Review is to
determine appropriate floodplain management measures for the preparation of a cost-effective Floodplain
Risk Management Plan for the study area.
The study addresses flooding caused by runoff in the Ourimbah Creek and its tributaries and does not
address flooding caused by elevated water levels in Tuggerah Lakes independent of river flooding.
Floodplain management for Tuggerah Lakes flooding is to be addressed in a separate study, currently
under development.

Narromine Flood Study - Final Report

The activities comprising the present investigation included:
<ol>
<li>Review of flooding patterns in the area presently covered by the model and preparation of a
brief for additional cross sectional survey which would also cover areas earmarked by
Council for possible future development. These areas are shown on Figure 1.1.</li>
<li>Adjust the MIKE 11 model to incorporate the overbank flow paths discussed previously,
extend the model into the potential development areas and confirm that the potential
downstream control on flood levels in the town (i.e. the banks of the irrigation canal
between the Mitchell Highway and Warren Road), were correctly incorporated in the model.</li>
<li>In view of the modifications to the hydraulic model, it was necessary to tune it to reproduce
flooding patterns observed during the February 1955 flood of record, prior to using it for
design flood estimation. Recorded peak flood levels were available for the February 1955
flood.</li>
</ol>

<strong>Section 2</strong> discusses the amendments to the hydraulic model which were made to simulate the
overtopping of the river bank and water filling the southern floodplain, as well as the refinements
made to the model to simulate flooding on the southern side of the Main Western Railway. As
mentioned, in view of the substantial changes to the model, it was considered advisable to test its
ability to reproduce February 1955 flooding patterns. This task required some adjustments to the
“2006 Floodplain Model” to replicate the “February 1955 Floodplain”.

<strong>Section 3</strong> describes the results of hydraulic modelling of the design flood events and presents
information on the distribution of flows and peak water surface levels in Narromine. Results are
presented as peak flood depths and elevations, peak water surface profiles and plans showing
indicative extents of inundation and provisional flood hazard based on the depth and velocity
criteria presented in the Floodplain Development Manual, 2005.

<strong>Section 4</strong> contains a list of references.

Supplementary details are given in the Appendices. <strong>Appendix A</strong> contains tabulations of flood
level, discharge and velocity data for each of the design storm events modelled and sketches of
culverts are presented in <strong>Appendix B</strong>.

Dee Why South Catchment Flood Study

This report has been prepared for Warringah Council to define the nature and extent of flood in the Dee Why
South Catchment. Flood modelling was completed to define flood behaviour for a range of storm events
from 1 year Average Recurrence Interval (ARI) to Probable Maximum Flood (PMF).
The modelling shows that significant flows are conveyed in the piped drainage network and overland through
roads and properties. Generally the main overland flowpath starts from several branches at Alfred Street to
Beverley Job Park. Flows in the open channel at Victor Road and Redman Road combine with overland
flows from Mooramba Road, Fisher Road, and Pittwater Road at the intersection of Redman Road and
Pittwater Road. Overland flows are then conveyed along several roads and properties to Dee Why Lagoon
as well as in the open channels between Pacific Parade / Oaks Avenue and downstream of Dee Why
Parade. In a 1% AEP event, the results show that ponding of runoff occurs at several locations with
restricted outlet capacity.

High pedestrian areas in Dee Why CBD also experience overland flow inundation, particularly along Redman
Road, Pittwater Road, Oaks Avenue and Howard Avenue. In a 1% AEP event floodway and high provisional
hazard flow conditions along the open channels, on roads, and some properties including in the Dee Why
CBD.

A series of climate change scenarios were also modelled to evaluate potential impacts from elevated sea
levels and increased rainfall intensity. Results showed that the modelled increases to Lagoon level have an
impact to flood inundation of low-lying land near the Lagoon. Most properties within the Dee Why South
catchment do not show a significant change in inundation extent for the modelled scenarios. Modelled
increases in rainfall intensity showed a rise in peak water levels across the catchment, particularly in trapped
low points such as on Sturdee Parade and Alfred Street.

Council applies land use planning and development controls to manage development within flood prone
areas. The flood result and mapping provided in the document will assist Council with future land use
planning, development controls and floodplain risk management.

The next stage of the floodplain risk management process following the adoption of the Flood Study is the
Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan. This next stage will investigate various floodplain risk
management measures and prioritise these measures for implementation.

Dora Creek Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan - Report

<strong>Introduction</strong> 

The Dora Creek Flood Risk Management Plan has been prepared for Lake Macquarie City Council (Council) in accordance with the NSW Floodplain Development Manual (April 2005 - Reference 1) and the August 2010 Flood Risk Management Guide – Incorporating sea level rise benchmarks in flood risk assessment (Reference 4) and:
<ul>
<li>Is based on a comprehensive and detailed evaluation of factors that affect and are
affected by the use of flood prone land; </li>
<li>Represents the considered opinion of the local community on how to best manage its flood risk and its flood prone land; and </li>
<li>Provides a long-term path for the future development of the community.  </li>
</ul>

The Dora Creek catchment is located on the western side of Lake Macquarie waterway, 30 km south-west of Newcastle and 120 km north of Sydney. Dora Creek has a catchment area of approximately 238 km2 and is the largest catchment flowing into the Lake Macquarie waterway which has a total catchment of 648 km2 (Figure 1).
The study area focuses on the existing township of Dora Creek and includes the townships of Cooranbong and Avondale, where new and planned rural and urban developments are proposed within the floodplain. The upper limit of the study area extends above Freemans Drive to Cooranbong and downstream to the confluence of Dora Creek with the Lake Macquarie waterway. 
There are three main tributaries within the catchment with Dora Creek being joined by Jigadee Creek at Cooranbong and then Stockton Creek before draining into Lake Macquarie waterway at Bonnells Bay and Lake Eraring. 
Watercourses within the catchment area and above the tidal limit are narrow; Dora Creek is typically less than 15 m wide upstream of Freemans Drive. Below the tidal limit, the creeks become broader with Dora Creek varying from a width of 50m at the Sydney to Newcastle Freeway to 100m where it forms a delta into Lake Macquarie waterway. Upstream of the delta the Eraring Power station draws cooling water for steam condensation from Bonnells Bay, which passes under Dora Creek through a concrete tunnel and open canal.

Lake Wyangan Flood Study

Conclusions

The objective of the study was to undertake a detailed flood study of the Lake Wyangan catchment and establish models as necessary for design flood level prediction.

Through the undertaking of the flood study it has been found that during flood events the majority of the catchment runoff flows to Tharbogang Swamp rather than Lake Wyangan,  as  had previously been assumed. Historically there has been little response of Lake Wyangan water levels to rainfall events within the catchment, with only the March 1989 event producing a significant response. The limited response in Lake Wyangan is due to a number of factors:
<ul>
<li>It has a relatively small catchment area of around 100km2, including diverted catchment runoff through the Lake View Drain (Lake Wyangan’s natural catchment is around 75km2);</li>
<li>The calibration process found the catchment to indicate a high initial rainfall loss for the events considered. A large amount of rainfall (&gt;60mm) is required before any catchment runoff is generated and a response in the lake can be observed; and</li>
<li>A proportion of the catchment runoff volume is retained in temporary flood storages in the catchment, rather than further contributing to the flood storage in the lake.</li>
</ul>

Being a volume-driven closed-catchment system with no natural outlet, flood levels in Lake Wyangan and Tharbogang Swamp are directly related to the catchment runoff volume generated by any given flood event. The high rainfall losses generate relatively small effective rainfall depths and the flood levels are therefore highly sensitive to changes in the adopted initial loss value. The calibration process found an initial loss value of around 60mm to be appropriate for the events considered. However, due to the characteristics of the available design rainfall temporal pattern, this loss value was reduced for design purposes.

Tharbogang Swamp has a much larger catchment area than Lake Wyangan and therefore shows a much greater flood response. Unfortunately there has been no history of flood level recording in Tharbogang Swamp to compare to the modelled flood response.

The study also identified a number of local overland flow paths which impact of the planned development areas of Council’s Growth Strategy 2030. It is important that these flow paths are taken into consideration during the stages of development planning.

The flood study will form the basis for the subsequent floodplain risk management activities, being the next stage of the floodplain risk management process. The key locations to consider during this process have been identified as:
<ul>
<li>Locations where there is potential for cross-catchment flow transfer from the Tharbogang Swamp catchment into Lake Wyangan (potential changes to the existing flow distribution may result from future on-ground works in these localities) ; and</li>
<li>Locations where the floodways occur within the proposed development areas of the Giffith Growth Strategy 2030.</li>
</ul>
