In consideration of Ipswich’s flood background and location, the Ipswich City Council Floodplain Management Strategy aims to formalise a strategy document on Ipswich’s progress in the management of flooding, in alignment with the Integrated Water Strategy 2015-2031 and the future focus of the city outlined in Advance Ipswich .
The floodplain management process aims to find a balance between increasing community resilience to floods while facilitating the use of the floodplain as a valuable and sustainable resource for appropriate purposes .
Ipswich City Council respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners, the Jagera, Yuggera and Ugarapul people of the Yugara/Yagara Language Group, as custodians of the land and waters we share. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging, as the keepers of the traditions, customs, cultures and stories of proud peoples.
