As disastrous weather and flooding continue to impact communities across the nation, now is the time to share your experiences and learn from others at the Floodplain Management Australia (FMA) National Conference in Melbourne from 14-16 May 2025.
The theme of the Conference is “Flood Knows No Boundaries” and highlights that floods can affect any area. It emphasises the importance of collaboration across states, regions, catchments, communities and sectors to effectively address and manage flood risks.
The FMA National Conference has been held annually for over 60 years and is the most respected flood risk management event held in Australia. It will bring together over 350 flood professionals and community members with interests in flood risk management. Attendees will include Commonwealth, State and Local Government representatives, research organisations and education providers as well as consultants, engineers, land- use planners, emergency responders and community volunteer organisations.
During the week attendees will hear motivational and innovative presentations from outstanding keynote speakers and industry professionals, take part in interactive workshops and networking events, and participate in informative field trips addressing floodplain risk management issues and inspiring achievements. A Local Government Councillors’ session will also be convened, and optional Pre-Conference workshops on topical issues will be held on the Tuesday.
