Flood Management
 
If you are affected by or at risk of flooding please visit the State Emergency Services (SES) website for current advice.

Georges River has been declared a natural disaster area by the Australian Government, due to the current severe storms and flooding. Assistance is being provided through the jointly funded Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).

Impacted individuals and small businesses in our LGA can apply for assistance via the NSW Government website.

Please view the following information on staying healthy during and after floods.
 

Council has a duty of care to manage lands subject to flooding within its Local Government Area, under the NSW Government's Flood Prone Land Policy. Council is responsible for formulating and implementing Floodplain Risk Management Plans in accordance with the policy.

The key objective in the Floodplain Risk Management process and the implementation of Floodplain Risk Management Plans is to reduce the impact of flooding and flood liability on individual owners and occupiers of flood prone properties. The Plan also aims to reduce potential private and public losses resulting from floods, utilising ecologically positive flood mitigation measures.

If you are looking for information and support due to a flood event visit our Community Support Services Directory.
