In case "for obvious reasons" wasn't obvious regarding developing in floodplains, this is Bega Valley Shire Council's map of flood prone land, with four categories from FPCC1 (apricot) to FPCC4 (green).
FPCC1 designated land is essentially "high risk, do not develop". Whilst most of the CBD is outside the flood prone land, it is fundamentally poorly situated at the intersection of Brogo River and Bega River, with waterways on three sides.
