Floodplain Management
The West Gippsland Catchment Management Authority is preparing a Floodplain Management Strategy to help the community better understand flood behaviour, so that communities better understand their flood risk and can take the necessary actions to minimise the risk to themselves and their property.
The strategy will help coordinate all agencies and communities to minimise flood risks. It includes a three year work plan with actions included where the responsible authority agrees to implement them. Through this process everyone will gain a better understanding of the roles and responsibilities of each agency and flood risk across the region.
