Local knowledge is critical when flood mapping is being reviewed.

Flood mapping can feel like something that sits in a planning document, but for communities it can connect to very real questions about land, homes, local roads, businesses, future development and how well we prepare for changing conditions.

State Planning Commission South Australia (Plan SA) has released the draft State-Wide Flood Hazard Code Amendment for public consultation, with proposed updates to flood hazard mapping and planning rules across South Australia.

We encourage people across our region to take a look at the draft mapping and consider whether they have local knowledge or experience to contribute. People who live and work in a place often understand how water moves through the landscape, where access can become difficult, how past flooding has affected properties or roads and what future development may need to take into account.

The proposed changes may affect some properties by introducing or clarifying flood-related planning considerations, while for many others they may remove requirements that are no longer considered necessary.

This consultation is an opportunity for local experience to be part of the conversation.

Consultation closes on Thursday, 13 August 2026, so we encourage landowners, businesses, developers, councils and community members to review the draft mapping and supporting information, consider what it may mean for their property, business, community or future plans and share feedback through YourSAy where they have local knowledge, observations, concerns or support to contribute - use the link below:
