Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan

Blayney Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan

A Flood Study Report was prepared (Jacobs 2015) to define the flood behaviour for a range of flood events up to and including the probable maximum flood. Community consultations, review of the relevant planning and legislations, flood damage assessment and identification and assessment of flood mitigation measures have been undertaken as part of this study to formulate a Draft Floodplain Risk Management Plan (FRMP) for consideration by the Floodplain Management Committee and Blayney Shire Council.

The Floodplain Risk Management Plan (FRMP) for Blayney was developed to address the existing, future and continuing flood problems, in accordance with the NSW Floodplain Development Manual (2005). To meet the requirements of the Manual, Council needs a FRMP in order to:

  • Reduce the flood hazard and risk to people and property in the existing community;
  • Provide valuable flood intelligence to assist State Emergency Service (SES) in updating Local Flood Plans for the township;
  • Protect, maintain and, where possible, enhance the river and floodplain environment, and
  • Ensure flood management decisions integrate the social, economic and environmental considerations
