We need your help to manage our floodplains

Councils are primarily responsible for managing flood risk in their area, with technical and financial support provided by the NSW Government. Camden Council regularly seeks opportunities for improving available information to achieve better and more precise engineering outcomes.

The latest update of Flood Risk Management documents sets out a framework to address existing, future and continuing flood risks for Camden in accordance with the NSW Government’s Flood Prone Land Policy and Floodplain Development Manual. < Learn more here >
