A new flood study has been completed for the Guyra area, part of the Armidale Regional Council region, marking an important step in improving flood planning and community safety.
The study provides detailed information about how flooding may occur around Guyra and surrounding areas. The findings are expected to help council, emergency services, landowners and residents better prepare for possible flood events.

Local authorities have encouraged residents to stay informed about flood risks and emergency plans, particularly during periods of heavy rainfall.
The project forms part of broader efforts across regional NSW to improve disaster resilience and ensure communities have access to reliable information when preparing for natural hazards.
