When the floods of 2020-2022 devastated many parts of NSW it was a new experience for many turf producers. Some growers talked about hearing of floods from their parents and locals, but living and working through floods reaching over 13 metres was a very challenging experience.
It had been nearly 30 years since the last major floods in NSW, so the idea of a flood management plan was pretty much nonexistent.
This project has developed a two-part document to prepare businesses for future floods and to assist in training their staff to prepare for a flood.
Part One looks at the data and information collected from growers during the floods and why it is important to have a Flood Management Plan.
Part Two is your farm plan. It includes past experiences on your farm and will be a resource to train future staff and farm managers.
