    Further changes have been made to the flood hazard mapping for the Cooroibah area in response to comments from the community. The mapping was revised using a finer level of modelling detail and then forwarded to the state government for approval with the rest of the amendments. Letters are being sent to property owners advising them of the changing and thanking them for their feedback.
