Welcome to the website of the Floodplain Management Association (FMA), formerly known as the Floodplain Management Authorities.

The Flood Mitigation Authorities as the organisation was originally known held its first conference in 1961, and was established to promote sound and responsible floodplain management, and to make representations on behalf of local government at State and Federal levels. The FMA has continued these important roles for more than 50 years and now has more than 90 members.

 In 2011 by resolution at it's Annual General Meeting the FMA became known as the Floodplain Management Association.

The FMA is accepted by State and Federal Government agencies as representing the interests of NSW floodplain communities and the authorities responsible for reducing future flood losses. The FMA meets regularly with State and Federal ministers and their departments.

This website is a key communication centre for FMA members and the public. The public can obtain information about floodplain management, links to other organizations with further information, flood news, the FMA and its activities. Members have access to peruse and share information on news, projects, correspondence, published documents, business papers, minutes and hold discussions on subjects associated with floodplain management.
