sec.101 Construction of new levees and modification of existing levees

For assessing proposed development that is the construction of a new levee or the modification of an existing levee, the levee can be categorised as 1 of the following types of levees— category 1 levee; category 2 levee; category 3 levee. A category 1 levee is a levee that has no off-property impact. A category 2 levee is a levee— that has an off-property impact; and for which the affected population is less than 3. A category 3 levee is a levee— that has an off-property impact; and for which the affected population is at least 3. In this section— affected population , for a levee, means the total number of persons occupying all buildings on which the levee has a significant impact. levee property — means the lot or parcel of land on which a levee is situated; and includes another lot or parcel of land that is contiguous with the lot or parcel mentioned in paragraph (a) and owned by the same entity. off-property impact , for a levee, means an impact the levee has on people, property or the environment outside the levee property. significant impact , of a levee on a building, means each of the following— an increase, caused by the levee, of more than 5cm in the flow height of water over the floorboards of the building; an increase, caused by the levee, of more than 0.2 m/s in the flow velocity of water over the floorboards of the building.
