EOI – Floodplain Management Sub-Committee

11 January 2023

Expressions of Interest (EOI) are invited for people to become 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 in the Floodplain Management Sub-Committee.

If you live in a flood impacted/flood risk area and have a knowledge of flood behaviour 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 Local Government Area
• 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.
