Redbank Creek Flood Study – Community Questionnaire

Hawkesbury City Council is undertaking a flood study of Redbank Creek in order to:

• Better understand local flooding problems along Redbank Creek
• Build community resilience by informing better planning of development, emergency management and community awareness
• Develop information to assist in future floodplain management activities to reduce flood impacts on the community, including risk to life and property damage.

Council is inviting community members to provide details in relation to recent or historic flooding in relation to Redbank Creek or local overland flows in the Redbank Creek catchment.

Your local knowledge and personal experiences of flooding are an invaluable source of information, and Council would welcome your input into this project.

Your response will help us to understand flooding in the Redbank Creek area, and help to develop strategies to reduce the impacts of flooding on people and property in the future.

Information can be shared by completing the online questionnaire via the Survey Tab below. All survey information is confidential and will be used only for floodplain risk management purposes. Please provide your response by 13 November 2023.

Council Officers will also be available at North Richmond Shopping Village (laneway between carpark and Aldi) to answer questions, assist with the survey, or receive information directly:

When: Thursday 26 October 2023 – 10am to 2pm.

Enquiries should be directed to Colleen Haron, Floodplain Management Officer on 4560 4444 or by email to council@hawkesbury.nsw.gov.au.
