Have your Say - Willinga Lake Flood Study and Floodplain Risk Management Plan
The Draft Willinga Lake Flood Study and Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan (FRMS&P) is now on public exhibition until 24 February 2025.
The study area comprises the Willinga Lake catchment as well as other local catchments along Bawley Point Road and Murramarang Road.
The aim of the upcoming public exhibition and community consultation phase is for Council to seek feedback via an online survey from the community regarding the Draft Willinga Lake Flood Study and FRMS&P so that these comments can be considered prior to the finalisation of the study. Importantly, community feedback will be considered when finalising the Willinga Lake Floodplain Risk Management Plan which will outline adopted flood risk management strategies into the future.
The following documents can be viewed in the Document Library on this webpage:
- A video presentation that discusses the study development and key outcomes.
- A short summary report that outlines the study development and key outcomes.
- Draft Willinga Lake Flood Study, Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan, and Map Compendium.
- NSW State Emergency Service (SES) Rural Properties FloodSafe brochure which provides useful information on what to do when flooding is likely, how to stay informed during a flood event, flood evacuation information and contact details for emergency services
A community drop-in session will be held from 3pm to 6:30pm, Tuesday 11 February 2025 at the Bawley Point RFS (Thrush Street) where the community can meet Council staff, local SES volunteers and consultants working on this project. There are no scheduled presentations, so the community can simply call in at a time that suits them to ask questions and provide feedback face to face.
Alternatively, should you have any questions on the draft study, or would like to provide further feedback via email, please contact the Floodplain Management Unit - floodplain.management@shoalhaven.nsw.gov.au, or call Council on 1300 293 111.
