City of Coffs Harbour continually works to update and improve our understanding of flood risk and reduce the impact of flooding. We follow the NSW Government's guidelines for managing floodplains.

We have detailed flood information for the Coffs Creek catchment. A flood study review was undertaken and adopted by City of Coffs Harbour in 2018.

Boambee and Newports Creek

A Floodplain Risk Management Study for Boambee Newports Creek was undertaken and adopted by City of Coffs Harbour in 2016.

Upper Orara

The Upper Orara River Flood Study was prepared in 2012 to define the existing flood behaviour in the Upper Orara River and Bucca Bucca Creek.

Woolgoolga

A Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan for Woolgoolga was undertaken and adopted by City of Coffs Harbour in 2016.

Bonville, Pine and Middle Creeks

A flood study and floodplain risk management study and plan for Middle Creek was completed in 2021.

Moonee Creek

We have limited information for the Moonee Creek Catchment.
