This research is exploring community experiences of the 2022/2023 floods in South Australia, Victoria and south-western New South Wales; floods that involved sudden-onset flooding (Victoria) and longer lead time riverine flooding (Victoria and South Australia).
This research builds on similar studies that were also undertaken after flooding during 2022 in Queensland and New South Wales (complete) and Tasmania (in progress). This research in South Australia, Victoria and south-western New South Wales will use the same methodology employed in this previous studies, involving in-depth interviews and a survey.
The survey is broad and open to anyone who was affected by the 2022/2023 floods in South Australia, Victoria and south-western New South Wales. While the recent floods in December 2023 to January 2024 are not the focus of the study, if you were affected by these floods a few questions will be asked.
The in-depth interviews will focus on six different locations, to explore:
- How people responded in areas impacted with moderate and longer lead times for floodwater arriving
- the experiences of First Nations peoples
- the experiences of those who are culturally and linguistically diverse.
Interviews in Mannum and Mypolonga, South Australia are completed. Interviews are currently being undertaken in Berri-Barmera Council, South Australia with community members from diverse cultural backgrounds.
