Council is seeking expressions of interest from the community to become members of its Floodplain Risk Management Committee (FRMC). The FRMC will cover the entire LGA and will reference the Exile Bay Flood Study (adopted July 2020) and the Powells Creek Flood Study (adopted December 2022).
The committee’s role is to assist Council in the development of a Floodplain Risk Management Plan which sets out the strategic and statutory functions of Council in relation to the management of flood prone land. The FRMC will meet approximately five times, or as determined by the chairperson. Its role is advisory in nature, and it reports directly to Council.
The committee provides an important link between Council and the local community and provides input on a range of matters from flood behaviour to education and implementation initiatives.
The Committee Charter can be found here.
The selection criteria for community representatives are:
- Demonstration of connection and links to their geographic community or community of interest (as appropriate) and;
- Demonstration of awareness in relation to flood risk management issues.
If you would like to nominate for a position on the Committee, please complete the form below by Wednesday, 11 January 2023.
