This year’s Floodplain Management Australia (FMA) Excellence Awards are now open.

The program recognises outstanding contributions from FMA organisations and individuals around land use planning, reducing flood impacts, managing floods or restoring affected communities.

The awards are split into two categories: the FMA-NRMA Insurance flood risk management project of the year, and the FMA-Allan Ezzy flood risk manager of the year.

Nominations close on April 6. For more information, click here.
