PUBLIC EXHIBITION

Flood Risk Management Policy

Our Flood Risk Management Policy sets out Camden Council’s approach to flood risk management and development procedures for all flood prone land. The policy adopted in 2006 was recently reviewed and updated to reflect changing requirements.

Camden Council invites the community to consider the newly drafted Flood Risk Management Policy and provide feedback by 11.59pm Friday 26 August 2022 (extended from 18 August 2022).

The revised Flood Risk Management Policy has been informed by the draft Nepean River Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan (currently exhibited) and the adopted Upper South Creek Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan (2019).

This Policy applies to all flood prone land in the Upper South Creek Catchment and the Nepean River Catchment within the Camden LGA. The Policy applies to:

  • all types of flooding including mainstream flooding, major drainage and local overland flow paths
  • flood prone land identified in Council’s most up-to-date flood studies and plans

Please take some time to look through the draft Flood Risk Management Policy and associated documents provided in the Document Library on this page.

Your feedback is important

The Policy is placed on public exhibition in order for the community to consider implications and offer feedback.
