The department is developing a whole-of-valley floodplain management plan under the Water Management Act 2000 for the Murrumbidgee Valley. This will replace the existing localised floodplain management plan that was originally developed under the Water Act 1912.

We are currently reviewing submissions and will publish a What we heard report soon.
