Flood event in Gwydir Valley

There are reports of heavy rain in the Gwydir region which could lead to overland flows.

Due to the disallowance of the government’s regulation amendment, which temporarily exempted certain floodplain works from licencing requirements, any landholder considering floodplain harvesting during this event may wish to seek their own legal counsel.

For information on the status of the Water Management (General) Amendment (Exemptions for Floodplain Harvesting) Regulation 2020 visit the FAQs webpage.
