Council adopts Allans Creek Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan (2024)

The draft Allans Creek Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan was prepared with the cooperation, assistance, and support of many stakeholders, including community members and State Government representatives.

The draft Allans Creek Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan is an important milestone in the floodplain risk management process, that will allow appropriate flood risk management strategies to be put in place, such as development controls, emergency response measures, education and infrastructure solutions to benefit the community and businesses within the catchment. The report and associated flood data will be put onto the NSW Flood Data Portal so it can be publicly accessed, with the aim to provide a better understanding of flood behaviour, flood risk and wiser decision-making for the Allans Creek catchment.

At its meeting on 12 August 2024, Council resolved unanimously to adopt the Allans Creek Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan. You can read the business paper and minutes for more information.

Thank you to everyone who contributed their time, thoughts and energy to help manage flood risk in this catchment.
