Community experiences of previous flood impacts across Maitland.

The most recent Floodplain Risk Management Study for Maitland was completed in 2015 and covered the entire Hunter River floodplain.

In recent years, Maitland has been impacted by flood events, most notably in July 2022. New modelling and an updated Floodplain Risk Management Study will allow Maitland City Council to more effectively and accurately identify flood risk, anticipate impacts and assess management options into the future.

Local knowledge is vital in understanding the behaviour and effects of flooding and will help Maitland City Council better understand how floods happen in the catchment and allow for better management of flood hazards.

Consultation is now closed and we're currently reviewing your data to develop the plan.
