Lachlan River (Condobolin) Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan

Study Objectives

Lachlan Shire Council commissioned the Floodplain Risk Management Study and Draft Plan for the town of Condobolin. The overall objectives of the Floodplain Risk Management Study (FRMS) were to assess the impacts of flooding, review existing Council policies as they relate to development of land in flood liable areas, consider options for the management of flood affected land and to develop a draft Floodplain Risk Management Plan (FRMP) which:

1.     Proposes modifications to existing Council policies to ensure that the development of flood affected land is undertaken so as to be compatible with the flood hazard and risk.
2.     Proposes Flood Planning Levels for the various land uses in the floodplain.
3.     Sets out the recommended program of works and measures aimed at reducing over time, the social, environmental and economic impacts of flooding.
4.     Provides a program for implementation of the proposed works and measures.

The FRMS focuses on Main Stream Flooding from the Lachlan River and is major tributaries (namely Goobang Creek) and Major Overland Flow (areas which occur in the urbanised parts of the town, as well as the presently undeveloped areas immediately to its north. Flooding problems on the Major Overland Flow paths arise from surcharges of the trunk drainage systems, which comprise a mix of natural depressions, pipes, culverts and open drains.

The solutions of problems resulting from surcharges of minor drainage lines in streets or in individual allotments remote from the Major Overland Flow paths are matters for stormwater management by Council and are outside the scope of the present investigation.

Lachlan River

You can try your luck at catching the iconic Murray cod, yellow belly or redfin by throwing a line in along the Lachlan River. The fishing is set in the background of the inland river, with its slow waters, deep pools, fallen tree fish habitats, all near deep weirs, and shaded camping spots. Fish are important to the region for several reasons. These include angling, river health and indigenous cultural significance.

The river banks are shaded by tall red gum, many of which have Aboriginal scars and markings. Of course, most anglers will want to keep one or two fish for the BBQ. Species include Murray cod, golden and silver perch, catfish and redfin.

When fishing in NSW waters, both freshwater and saltwater, you are required by law to pay the NSW Recreational Fishing Fee and carry a receipt showing the payment of the fee. This applies when spear fishing, hand lining, hand gathering, trapping, bait collecting and prawn netting or when in possession of fishing gear in, on or adjacent to waters. 

For more information regarding fishing licenses, please visit the NSW Department of Primary Industries website:
