What happened
City of Newcastle, in partnership with Maitland City Council and Cessnock City Council, has engaged a specialist consultant to develop a flood study for the Hexham and Woodberry Swamp catchments. The study examines flash flooding and proposes reclassifying 1903 homes as flood-affected based on a probable maximum flood index.
Why it matters
The draft flood study could lead to increased insurance premiums and decreased land values for residents in the study area. The initiative is part of a broader effort to monitor the flood situation across Northumberland.
