The Brewery Creek and Reavers Lane areas are currently zoned Business and High Density Residential and are both on the surface of alluvial fans - cone shaped landforms made of sediment which has made its way to the valley floor from hill country streams above. It is recognised that these alluvial fans are affected by natural hazards including rockfall, debris flow, liquefaction, and flooding.
The following table outlines the activities that have been completed so far and also the activity planned as part of this review process:
