Armidale Regional Council has completed the first flood study ever undertaken for the Guyra area, marking an important step in understanding local flood risks and supporting future planning, development and emergency preparedness.
Consultation has commenced for The Guyra Flood Study from Wednesday 29 July to Tuesday 25 August 2026, with community members encouraged to review the document and provide feedback.
Completed by council staff in collaboration with specialist consultants and representatives from the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) the study identifies the potential impacts of flooding from a range of flood events, from smaller, more frequent floods through to the largest possible flood scenario. The findings provide valuable information about how flooding may affect homes, businesses, roads and other infrastructure in and around Guyra.
The NSW Government now requires that local councils manage the risk of flooding within their Local Government Area. The study manages floodplain risk and provides the foundation for future planning and mitigation measures. The study will also be shared with the NSW State Emergency Service (SES) to support emergency response planning and improve the accuracy of flood forecasting and warning systems.
