If you live in a flood prone area, there are several steps you can take to prepare yourself, your family and your property.
The first stage of work (information gathering) is expected to begin on the Devlins Creek Catchment in the next few years.
Darling Mills, Rifle Range, Hunts and Blue Gum Creek Catchments, flood studies and risk management study and plans to start in future years (2026+).
Duck River Catchment, flood studies and risk management study and plan to start in future years.
Following the completion of the Parramatta River Flood Study (endorsed by Council on 11 June 2024) work will commence on the Draft Parramatta River Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan.
The Draft Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan will investigate and identify appropriate flood mitigation actions that can be delivered to reduce or resolve flooding in areas with a high flood risk.
When completed, the Draft Parramatta River Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan will be presented to the community for feedback and will then proceed to Council for endorsement and finally lodged with the NSW Government.
