This research was targeted at assessing mitigation strategies to reduce the vulnerability of existing residential building stock in Australian floodplains. The project addressed the need for an evidence base to inform decision making on the mitigation of the flood risk posed by the most vulnerable Australian houses and complements parallel CRC projects for earthquake and severe wind. Through this project, the research team developed a building classification schema to categorise Australian residential buildings into a range of typical storey types, reviewed national and international mitigation strategies, and developed a floodproofing matrix to assess strategies for select story types. The results of this research form an evidence base to inform decision making by government and property owners on the mitigation of flood risk by providing information on the cost effectiveness of different mitigation strategies.
