Northern floodplain management plan
The review relates only to the scope of the floodplain management plan listed.
Floodplain management plans provide the framework for coordinating the development of flood works on a whole-of-valley basis.
Floodplain management plans apply for a period of ten years from commencement, with a review required within the fifth year to determine whether its provisions remain adequate and appropriate for ensuring the effective implementation of the water management principles (under Section 43 of the Water Management Act 2000).
The public submission period provides opportunities for water users, stakeholders and other interested parties to inform the review of these plans. Comment is specifically being sought on:
- Is the floodplain management plan adequate and appropriate for ensuring the effective implementation of the water management principles?
- Are there issues with the plan that were identified since commencement and impact on effectiveness of implementation?
- Are there potential amendments to the plan that should be considered?
The review report will be published online by the department and used to inform possible amendments or replacement of these floodplain management plans.
