Tweed Coastal Creeks Flood Risk Management Study and Plan Update
We invite you to share your flood experiences to help us better understand flood behaviour in Tweed’s coastal creeks. Your input is crucial in shaping our flood study and ensuring our plans meet community needs.

The updated flood study will include all areas of the coastal catchments (i.e. Cudgen Creek, Cudgera Creek, Mooball Creek and Marshalls Creek) because these systems interact during heavy rain. By assessing them together, we can understand how they interact during floods.
The current study will build upon the:
