Rivervue Retirement Village in Victoria faced significant flood damage, leaving residents without secure housing. An inquiry found that Melbourne Water's flood modelling was inaccurate, leading to residents being displaced and traumatized. The owner and manager lacked necessary insurance, causing some residents to pay for their own accommodation or move into government-owned facilities.
