Resilience and natural hazard risk
We are ensuring risk from natural hazards is understood and considered early through strategic planning, protecting communities from existing and future risks.
Bushfires
Trees and vegetation that act as fuel for bushfires are permitted to be cleared in identified bushfire prone areas, without the need to get approval.
Flooding
The NSW Government is working closely with other agencies on managing flood risks to keep our communities safe.
Natural hazards
We have developed a statewide natural hazards package that encourages councils to consider natural hazard risks during strategic land-use planning.
Resilience planning
