Surveying a Town Built at the Mouth of the Richmond River
Ballina sits at the mouth of the Richmond River, a catchment covering approximately 6,900 square kilometres that drains to the ocean at Ballina, with a secondary outlet at Evans Head via the Tuckombil Canal. The river has shaped the town for well over a century, with early cedar getters floating logs downstream to the coast as far back as the 1860s, and periodic flooding recorded from that era through to more recent events. For any development near the river or its tributaries, understanding flood behaviour and water boundaries is essential, and our surveyors carry out detail and hydrographic surveys that help property owners and builders plan around these conditions.
Working Around Tidal Flooding in the Ballina CBD
Ballina’s town centre sits close to the Richmond River and is affected by tidal flooding during extreme high tides, with certain streets known to be affected when tides reach elevated levels. Beyond the main river, much of the flood risk for the wider Ballina area comes from its tributaries, North Creek and Emigrant Creek, both of which are prone to overtopping during heavy rainfall. This combination of tidal and creek related flooding makes accurate detail and contour surveys an important part of any building or renovation project in and around the Ballina town centre. Our team carries out these surveys to establish accurate site levels ahead of development applications.
