<idPurp>Regionwide Rivers Flood Hazard Zone 4 (RRFHZ4) – the area potentially susceptible to river flooding in a 1% AEP / 100Yr ARI + CC </idPurp>
<idAbs>&lt;DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;River flood hazard zones were developed by 2 different external expert consultants between 2016 and 2021. The layers are derived by advanced models using empirical calculations. &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P /&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Two different models were used to construct the river flood layers: TUFLOW (Water Technology, 2021), InfoWorks (URS, 2016). The reports detailing the methodologies, and risk assessment on the Priority Rivers, can be accessed from the NRC website&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;</idAbs>
