Have your say on the 2022 flood event to help Cabonne Council better plan for catastrophic events in the future.
Council is in the process of developing a Cabonne Recovery Plan following the November 2022 flood event.
The Cabonne Recovery Plan will help drive our direction to restore the Cabonne Local Government Area over the next two years in partnership with Council, the community, disaster support agencies, and state and federal government.
The Plan will outline the actions the community and Council are taking in response to the flood event, estimated costs to repair critical infrastructure throughout Cabonne, as well as the cost to local homes, businesses, the environment, and the wellbeing of our communities.
The Plan also looks to the future with plans to restart our regional economy and build back better, so our community is more resilient to future natural disasters.
Council wants to ensure that everyone impacted by the flooding event has the opportunity to contribute their thoughts and ideas on the things that matter to them and their future.
Residents in flood impacted areas will receive a survey via mail or can complete the survey online at: www.surveymonkey.com/r/cabonnerecovery
This survey will be part of collating the many views of the community. However, there will be additional opportunities to participate in this process as we continue to develop the Recovery Plan over the next few months.
Council will also be conducting a series of community information sessions in early June 2023 to share the Recovery Plan, whilst the Plan is open for public submission. All impacted and interested community members will be welcome to attend.
Council will formally adopt the Cabonne Recovery Plan at its June Council meeting.Please note this survey is not a Flood Plain Management survey. Additional surveys will undertaken to assess this in coming months.
Please take the time to share your views with us – as Building Back Better relies on us all contributing and working together.
