Work on Ipswich’s largest ever flood project has surged ahead.

Our community engagement started in late 2019 with the Managing Future Floods survey. There were 190 responses from 51 Ipswich suburbs that provided important city-wide views and priorities on a range of flood related topics.

Since then, we have been moving forward with a large amount of technical work and modelling. The Ipswich Integrated Catchment Plan is starting to take shape.

This is an enormous and complex project which has several important individual components, each increasing the city’s readiness for future flood events in different ways.

We are expecting some early results and draft reports for these individual components in coming months.

Some of these will be incorporated into Council decision-making, such as the draft Planning Scheme.

Some will be presented publically, on Shape Your Ipswich, to receive community and stakeholder feedback before a final report is published.

Keep following the Managing Future Floods page on Shape Your Ipswich to stay up to date with the project.
