Draft Flood Prone Land Policy

The Council resolved at its meeting on the 28 June 2022, to exhibit the above draft document for public comment. The policy will be exhibited for 28 days from the 13 July to 9 August.

The Flood Prone Land Policy sets out the roles and responsibilities for the management of flood liable land and the legislative framework. It provides information on the flood studies and flood risk management studies and plans completed for catchments in the Blue Mountains LGA. Flood-related studies are an important risk management tool.

This policy is intended to replace Council’s existing Flood Liable Land Policy and has been updated to reflect Council’s contemporary land use planning instruments.

Copies of the document are available from the Blue Mountains City Council’s Business and Information Centres from 8:30am to 5:00pm Monday to Friday from Wednesday 13 July to Tuesday 9 August 2022. The document is also available on the web site www.bmcc.nsw.gov.au

Any person may make a submission in writing on the draft policy. Submissions can be made either by letter or via email to council@bmcc.nsw.gov.au and must be received by 5pm on 23 August 2022.
