NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and WaterWhat’s this about?
The NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water is developing a new floodplain management plan for the Murrumbidgee Valley Floodplain and is seeking your feedback.
Floodplain management plans set the rules for flood work development on floodplains in rural areas. The rules include what type of flood work can be constructed and where.
Stage 1 public consultation provides an early opportunity for community feedback on key elements that will be used to prepare the draft plan, including:
- the proposed floodplain boundary
- the historical flood events used for modelling
- the floodway network
- cultural and heritage sites
- ecological assets
- local variances to some rules.
To assist you in understanding the key elements proposed and how to make a submission, please read the Report to assist Stage 1 public consultation.
