What we heard about your experiences of flooding

1 June 2023

Between 7 March and 6 April 2023 we sought your feedback on the Johnstons Creek & Whites Creek Flood Risk Management Study and Plan. The purpose of the engagement was to understand resident experiences of stormwater and flooding within the Johnstons Creek and Whites Creek catchments and to identify preferences for flood management options.

Key points on the engagement methods and results:

  • The Your Say Inner West project page was viewed 650 times
  • Five people shared their experiences of flooding via the online survey and two contributed to the interactive map
  • Seven people attended a drop-in session to ask questions and share their experiences
  • The adopted Flood Study was downloaded 49 times

Feedback received during this engagement has been passed on to Council's consultant and will assist with developing flood mitigation options for these catchments. A detailed study will be prepared and placed on exhibition towards the end of 2023.
