The Floodplain Risk Management Study seeks to identify, assess and optimise measures aimed at reducing the impact of flooding for existing and further development, to make recommendations to Council for the future management of lands within the study area and inform the development of the Floodplain Risk Management Plan for Kandos and Rylstone.

Sinclair Knight Merz (currently Jacobs Group Australia Pty Ltd) was engaged by Council to undertake a Floodplain Risk Management Study and to prepare a Floodplain Risk Management Plan for Kandos and Rylstone. The Study and Plan were jointly funded by Council, and the Commonwealth and NSW Governments through the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage.

The NSW Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) issued a notice under Section 12 of the Protection of the Environment Administration Act 1991 to all NSW councils early in 1998, requiring each council to develop an Urban Stormwater Management Plan.

In response, the then Mudgee Shire Council commenced plan preparation in accordance with the Stormwater Management Plan (SMP) Guidelines (Managing Urban Stormwater Council Handbook, 1997) prepared by the EPA. This work was completed in 2001.
