We want to hear your flood stories

4 August 2023

Hawkesbury City Council is inviting community members within the locality bounded by the Macdonald River, Colo River, Webbs Creek and Greens Creek to provide information about recent or historic flooding that they have experienced or know about.

This valuable local knowledge will be added to Council’s information about flooding in the Macdonald River, Colo River, Webbs Creek and Greens Creek area, with community input being used to help to develop strategies to reduce the impacts of flooding on people and property as part of the Macdonald River, Colo River, Webbs Creek and Greens Creek Flood Study.

Council will receive online submissions via the survey at www.yourhawkesbury-yoursay.com.au or in writing addressed to the General Manager by mail to Hawkesbury City Council, PO Box 146, WINDSOR NSW 2756, or email council@hawkesbury.nsw.gov.au with reference to ‘Combined Rivers Project’ by Sunday, 27 August 2023.

The combined rivers community consultation is open until Sunday, 27 August 2023 inclusive. A wider study involving the Hawkesbury River is planned in the coming months, however this current study is focused on the locality bounded by the Macdonald River, Colo River, Webbs Creek and Greens Creek.

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