(1) For the purposes of this plan, "flood prone land" is:

(a) land that is susceptible to river inundation by a Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) event, or

(b) land considered by the Council to be subject to local stormwater flooding.

(2) For the purposes of this plan, "mapped flood prone land" is land mapped for the purposes of defining a flood standard that has been adopted by the Council. Mapped flood prone land is identified on maps held in the Council’s offices and marked “ Eurobodalla Shire-Flood and Inundation Affected Areas ”.

(3) For the purposes of this plan, the "flood standard" defines an area of land that is subject to flood-related development and building controls. The flood standard is described by a designated flood below which management of development is required under the NSW Government’s Flood Prone Land Policy.
