The National Emergency Management Agency (previously National Recovery and Resilience Agency) has commissioned CSIRO to undertake the Northern Rivers Resilience Initiative to understand the climate, catchment, and hydrological drivers within the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales. It forms part of measures to drive long term resilience by delivering priority projects that mitigate the impact of disasters on communities and economies in the region and ensure that they are in a better position to recover from future disasters.

CSIRO with its partner Alluvium Consulting is identifying and prioritising resilience options for mitigating flood risks in the future as part of the first six months rapid review and assessment. Over the last four months, a large number of documents and material have been reviewed to identify flood mitigation options across the entire Northern Rivers region. Stakeholders from the seven flood-affected local government areas in the region have also been consulted to seek their views regarding identified and prioritised existing flood mitigation project proposals. We also want to listen to your views and feedback. You are invited to drop in and meet with a project team member to review the preliminary results of the flood mitigation and resilience project prioritisation and discuss your views about what measures or criteria are important to you and your community and should be used to assess the identified flood mitigation project ideas and proposals.
