About FloodFutures

Flood management is something that affects us all and Wagga Wagga City Council is continuing a long-term conversation with the community regarding all aspects of flood management.

FloodFutures is an ongoing discussion on how we as a community manage living on the floodplain. Your input is needed on plans, studies and projects as they are developed to ensure your voice informs decisions on flood protection, mitigation and management.

If you need any extra information or have questions that aren't answered on the website, please email us at floodfutures@wagga.nsw.gov.au or phone 1300 292 442.

Why undertake Flood Management Studies?

Flood modelling is a predictive science and is based largely upon probability in determining estimated flood levels. Council is constantly looking at improved ways to manage flooding and the floodplains across the LGA with the assistance of the Floodplain Risk Management Advisory Committee (FRMAC) and Department of Primary Industries.

Studies and management plans help us make informed decisions about reducing flood risk to the community and to existing and future development, and reduce losses through a range of property, flood and response modification measures.
