Draft South Creek Catchment Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan
Council has adopted the Penrith CBD Catchment Overland Flow Flood Study and is now developing the Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan.
We want your input
The Draft South Creek Catchment Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan, prepared by engineering consultant Advisian, is on public exhibition from 31 October to 28 November 2019.
The South Creek study area covers that part of the South Creek floodplain in the Penrith LGA bounded by Elizabeth Drive to the south, Northern Road to the west, Ropes Creek to the east and Blacktown Road/Richmond Road to the north. Affected suburbs include: Berkshire Park, Llandilo, Jordan Springs, Werrington, Werrington County, St Marys, Oxley Park, Claremont Meadows, St Clair, Erskine Park, Twin Creeks Mount Vernon and Luddenham. You can download a map of the study area here.
You are invited to have your say about it. Your feedback and comments about the draft study are invaluable to us so we can better plan for and manage flood risk.
