Flood levels adjacent to proposed WSFA shown in Appendix D are summarised in the Table 10. The model result indicates overbank flooding in some locations however there is no modelled flooding risk present for a 100 year ARI event to infrastructure positioned in the Wharekirauponga General Site Layout Plan shown in Appendix C.
