Created 16/10/2025

Updated 16/10/2025

This paper introduces the work of the National Flood Risk Advisory Group in providing advice and guidance on the management of flood risk in Australia, in particular its work on the development of a set of national guidelines. The guidelines are included as an appendix and they highlight that communities utilise the support and cooperation of departments and agencies across all levels of government to effectively access the broad range of skills and the funding essential to implement flood risk management solutions. The paper discusses the more important flood risk considerations embodied in the guidelines.
