Welcome to the Floodplain Management Authorities website. The Floodplain Management Authorities (FMA) held the first Annual Conference in 1961 to promote sound and responsible floodplain management and to make representations on behalf of local government at State and Federal levels.

The FMA is accepted by State and Federal Government agencies as representing the interests of floodplain communities in NSW and the authorities responsible for managing the floodplains to reduce 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.
