Flood planning in Camden — common questions
Is my Camden property in a flood planning area?
Parts of Camden have flood planning areas, particularly along the Nepean River and its tributaries. Some new release areas near natural watercourses may also be affected. Check your specific address above.
What flood risks exist in Camden?
The Nepean River and South Creek are the primary flood sources. Camden is part of the Hawkesbury-Nepean catchment. Low-lying areas near the river, particularly around Camden township, have significant flood risk.
Does flood risk affect new estates in Camden?
New release areas must address flood risk at the subdivision stage. Some lots near the Nepean River and tributary creeks may be in flood planning areas. Always check flood status before purchasing in a new estate.
Can I build a granny flat on a flood-affected Camden property?
Under SEPP Housing 2021, flood control lots are excluded from the CDC pathway. A DA with flood risk assessment is required for secondary dwellings on flood-affected land.
Need the full planning picture?
