Last week, experts from across the country were in Melbourne to attend the Floodplain Management Australia National Conference.
The annual conference was hosted by Floodplain Management Australia (FMA), and sponsored by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA). It brought together around 400 assorted professionals and community members with interests in flood risk management.
This was an important opportunity for DEECA staff to come together with other trusted flood professionals and decision makers to share information and learn from each other.
Here in Victoria, we know the significant impact that flooding can have, and we are committed to working in partnership with the community and other agencies to be better prepared for future floods.
Attendees at the conference included commonwealth, state and local government representatives, research organisations and education providers as well as consultants, engineers, land-use planners, emergency responders and community volunteer organisations.
