The Manly Lagoon Flood Study, 2013 updated the Manly Lagoon Flood Study, 1990 and confirmed the presence of flood risk within the catchment, particularly the lower catchment around Manly Lagoon. It also highlighted that in significant rainfall events particular areas such as those surrounding the lagoon, Warringah Mall and Balgowlah Industrial Estate, would be subject to high levels of flood risk.

This Study will help improve Council’s management of flooding in the catchment, including selecting suitable ways to manage flooding for further investigation.
