Road closed due to floodwater

Cessnock Council is developing its Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan (FRMSP) for both the Greta and Black Creek Nulkaba to Branxton catchments. Black Creek is currently in Stage 2.


Overview of Project

The purpose of each FRMSP is to identify and assess options to reduce flood risk in Greta and Black Creek. For each catchment, a Flood Study then Plan is developed to reduce the impact of flooding. The Study and Plan are developed following the NSW Government’s guidance in the Floodplain Development Manual 2005.

The FRMSP is developed in the following order:

  1. Flood Study – investigates how flood waters are likely to behave, or move through the catchment.
  2. Floodplain Risk Management Study – This study builds on the flood study findings to look at how flooding will affect the community. It also considers different options to reduce flood risk.
  3. Floodplain Risk Management Plan – This plan includes the actions and guidelines to be implemented to manage flood risk in the catchment.
