THE Victorian parliamentary upper house Environment and Planning Committee is asking for public submissions to the Inquiry into the 2022 Flood Event in Victoria<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Member for Euroa, Annabelle Cleeland, called on those impacted across the Goulburn, Broken and Murray systems to make a submission.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis inquiry has the ability to make crucial recommendations and ensure our region is better prepared and protected against flood events,\u201d she said. \u201cIt is vital local voices are heard.<\/p>\n

\u201cBusinesses and individuals have a great opportunity to voice their concerns and push for change.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms Cleeland said the majority of committee members driving the inquiry resided in metropolitan electorates.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey need our voice and submissions to understand how regional communities are threatened without substantial improvements in flood prevention, response and recovery,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Ms Cleeland said the committee had indicated a willingness to hold public hearings in flood-impacted communities and she was pushing for this to include Heathcote, Seymour, Murchison, and Euroa.<\/p>\n

“We must hear directly from as many people as possible who were affected by the October floods,” she said.<\/p>\n

“Your insights and feedback will be essential in helping us to understand the true impact and what we need to improve to better protect our communities in the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the impacts of the floods will continue to be felt for a long time, we need to start having discussions about how to mitigate risks into the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf this inquiry is successful, it will provide a path forward for towns like Seymour who will continue to face the prospect of extensive flooding as the climate becomes more variable.\u201d<\/p>\n
