Hawkesbury-Nepean Valley Flood Management Review

The NSW Government has commenced a detailed review of the flood management arrangements for the Hawkesbury-Nepean valley in western Sydney. In 2012 extensive flooding across south eastern Australia, including the Hawkesbury-Nepean valley, saw Warragamba Dam spill for the first time in 14 years. This has raised awareness about the impacts of flooding. In response, the Hawkesbury-Nepean Valley Flood Management Review will consider flood planning, flood mitigation and flood response.
