A Wentworth Flood Study will be held, to look at patterns of riverine-type flooding in areas including Wentworth, Dareton, Buronga and Gol Gol.
Wentworth Shire Council is hoping the study will lead to better planning of development, emergency management and community awareness.
It’s asking locals to take part in a community survey, which can be found on the council’s Facebook page.
That closes on April 15.
Following the completion of the Wentworth Flood Study, Wentworth Shire Council may be eligible for further funding from the NSW Government to undertake a Flood Risk Management Study and prepare a Flood Risk Management Plan which will assist Council in refining strategic plans for mitigating and managing the effects of the existing, future and continuing flood risk at Wentworth, Pomona, Curlwaa, Dareton, Buronga and Gol Gol.
