The site has an enclosed stormwater system that directs all road drains to two holding ponds which are
lined with butyl rubber. These ponds (pond 1 and pond 2) are 300 m3 and 100 m3 respectively. Analysis of

was known about the actual size of the historical flood flows. At that time it was estimated that the
large floods of 1936 and 1971 had flows of 1500 and 2000 cumecs respectively. The 1990 flood was
determined to have a peak flow of 1560 cumecs.
