FMA Submission on Draft South East and Tablelands Regional Plan

This month, FMA Land Use Planning Director Paul Grech prepared a submission on the Draft South East and Tablelands Regional Plan for the New South Wales Department of Planning and Environment.
 
In particular FMA recommends the following be undertaken prior to the finalisation of the Draft Plan:

• Identify the floodplains within the planning region and the key FRM considerations for development (e.g. evacuation and private and public damages due to significant flood depths).
• Include a Regional Flood Planning Map that shows the extent of the floodplain(s) defined by the NSW Floodplain Development Manual, and associated elements relevant to FRM.
• Determine suitable development areas having regard to cumulative flood impacts.
• Identify regional flood risk mitigation measures that are required to ameliorate the impact of future development (e.g. augmented capacity to evacuation routes).
