IAG welcomes plan to reduce flood risk in Hawkesbury-Nepean

IAG Managing Director and CEO Peter Harmer said the Hawkesbury-Nepean is one of Australia’s most flood prone areas.

“The Hawkesbury-Nepean has been one of Australia’s greatest flood risk regions since records began in 1788, with a flood peaking at 20 metres in that year.

“Raising the wall of the Warragamba Dam will go a long way towards preventing natural disasters in this area as well as helping to reduce the financial and community costs associated with these types of disasters.
“We look forward to seeing more detail in next week’s NSW Budget,” Mr Harmer said.
