Seeking Information on Flood Damage to Waterways
The flood event of 2022 has been devastating in many ways and to many people. As we begin the recovery process, a dedicated Flood Recovery Program and team have been assembled by the North Central Catchment Management Authority (CMA) to start the process of addressing those impacts to the region’s waterways and associated infrastructure.
We are currently asking landholders within the flood zone to provide input into the assessment process. If you have noticed any major flood damage to waterways or associated infrastructure, you can report this to the CMA. This might include such things as serious erosion, major blockages, damage to riverside fencing, or extensive loss of vegetation.
To register damage please go to www.bit.ly/cmarepair, or call the CMA on 03 5448 7124 by 15 February 2023.
