Greater Bendigo City Council

Flood information for the Greater Bendigo City Council, encompassing local flood guides and a Municipal Flood Emergency Plan.

VICSES has developed Local Flood Guides to explain local flood risks for communities at risk. This includes advice for communities on how to prepare and respond to flood events and who to contact in the event of a flood.

City of Greater Bendigo and VICSES are also developing a Municipal Flood Emergency Plan to prepare for, respond to and recover from flood events.

The North Central Catchment Management Authority (CMA) in partnership with the City of Greater Bendigo and VICSES has undertaken an extensive flood study for the urban areas of Bendigo and surrounds.

You can access this information on their website or visit them in person at 628-634 Midland Highway, Huntly, 3551 or call (03) 5448 7124
