PUBLIC EXHIBITION

Nepean River Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan

Camden Council completed the Nepean River Flood Study in 2015 and has now prepared a Nepean River Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan as required by the State Government.

This process included the review of existing flooding behaviours and associated hazards before investigating mitigation options to reduce flood damage and risk. Development of a Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan provides a sound basis upon which Council can make decisions about undertaking works, making planning decisions and developing response arrangements to reduce the impact of flooding for the Nepean River catchment within the Camden local government area.

The Nepean River Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan is now publicly exhibited, and Camden Council seeks feedback from the community to ensure it reflects recent observations and experiences during heavy rainfall and flooding.

BACKGROUND

The Nepean River Floodplain Risk Management Study covers an area from Spring Farm to Cobbitty including the suburbs of Spring Farm, Camden South, Cawdor, Grasmere, Camden, Ellis Lane, Kirkham, Cobbitty and part Elderslie, Narellan, Harrington Park and Bringelly.

The Nepean River catchment is subject to mainstream riverine flooding, local catchment tributary flooding and overland flows. The latest Nepean River Flood Risk Management Study and Plan has been expanded to include additional tributaries of the Nepean River including Narellan Creek, Navigation Creek, Matahil Creek (East and West), Sickles Creek, Cobbitty Creek, and Bringelly Creek. The Narellan Creek Flood Study (2017) has also been updated as part of Floodplain Risk Management Plan preparation.
