Floodplain Management Sub-Committee - Expression of Interest

Expressions of Interest (EOI) are currently open for representatives on Council’s Floodplain Management Sub-Committee.

The Floodplain Management Sub-Committee has been formed by Hawkesbury City Council for the purpose of assisting Council with the review, development and implementation of Floodplain Risk Management Studies and Floodplain Risk Management Plans for the Hawkesbury.

Council is seeking representatives from flood impacted areas, including MacDonald Valley/St Albans, Upper Colo, Windsor, Pitt Town, South Windsor, McGraths Hill, Richmond Lowlands, North Richmond, Lower Portland, Cumberland Reach, or other areas that have experienced flooding in the Hawkesbury, to participate on the Floodplain Management Sub-Committee.

If you live in a flood impacted area and have a knowledge of flood behaviours and local catchment flooding issues, we would like to hear from you. To be selected, representatives will need to:

• Be a resident and/or own property in the Hawkesbury LGA
• Have an awareness of different flood behaviour and flooding issues in the area
• Have a mix of skills and attributes to complement other members of the Sub-Committee, including environmental interests and knowledge
• Be able to attend and participate in Sub-Committee meetings during business hours
• Agree to Council’s Code of Conduct and relevant (draft) Terms of Reference

If you are interested in contributing to a better understanding of flooding challenges facing the community, please complete the EOI document under the Documents Tab on this page and email it to council@hawkesbury.nsw.gov.au or send via mail to Hawkesbury City Council, PO Box 146 Windsor 2756, by 5pm on Friday, 27 January 2023.
