Floodplain Management Strategies Community Survey for the Ballarat area

Does flooding affect you? Do you have any information about flooding?

We are writing Regional Floodplain Management Strategies for the Ballarat area and we want to hear FROM YOU. Please complete this short online survey developed by the Corangamite CMA and go into the draw to win one of a number of 50 dollar Coles voucher.

What are the Regional Floodplain Management Strategies?

The Corangamite, North Central and Glenelg Hopkins CMAs are working with the Victorian SES and the the City of Ballarat to develop Regional Floodplain Management Strategies (RFMS). The regional strategies will provide regional planning documents for floodplain management and a high level regional work program to guide future investment priorities To find out more about the strategy visit any of the CMA websites www.ccma.vic.gov.au www.ghcma.vic.gov.au www.nccma.vic.gov.au

How can the community input into the strategy?

The CMAs are seeking community involvement to understand local flood risks, the community’s perceptions of flood risks and important community assets at risk. Please be aware that the regional strategy is not a property scale document; the regional strategy is interested in community identified assets at risk of flooding and the identification of local flood risks at a regional scale.
