Council has developed draft Flood Strategy, an important document setting out clear objectives and guiding principles for effectively managing flood risks across Blacktown City.

The strategy will guide Council in prioritising and delivering flood studies and mapping, flood risk management plans, and the actions arising from them.

We invite you to share your thoughts on the strategy which may be viewed here.

Why this strategy is important

Blacktown City faces significant challenges in managing flood risks, and these will continue to increase with future development and climate change.

This strategy recognises flood studies and flood risk management studies and plans that have been completed or are underway and identifies gaps. It identifies how we can achieve the best outcomes with our limited resources.
