Floods are a defining factor in how Australian communities are planned, built and protected. At DPM Consulting Group, we understand that creating resilient cities requires staying connected with the latest knowledge, research and approaches to flood management.
We are proud to share that DPM is now a Corporate Member of Floodplain Management Australia (FMA).
Connecting with Australia’s Flood Experts
FMA is the peak national body for flood risk practitioners. Its members include local councils, government agencies, researchers, consultants and industry professionals, all working together to promote the wise management of floodplains and improve community resilience.
Through this network, DPM gains access to valuable insights, technical expertise and collaborative opportunities that support our work across civil engineering and urban planning projects. This membership strengthens our ability to consider flood risk factors in design and planning, ensuring our projects contribute to safer, more sustainable outcomes.
A Platform for Learning and Collaboration
A key highlight of FMA’s work is its annual conference, which has been running for over 50 years. Attracting hundreds of practitioners, the event is Australia’s leading forum for flood risk management. It brings together experts from across government, academia and industry to share knowledge, explore innovation and set priorities for floodplain management.
Beyond the conference, FMA also delivers training programs, workshops and initiatives that foster collaboration and continuous learning. Being part of this community ensures DPM remains at the forefront of evolving approaches to flood resilience.
A Commitment to Resilient Outcomes
For DPM, joining FMA is more than a membership. It reflects our commitment to contributing to the conversations, policies and solutions that will shape the future of floodplain management in Australia.
By engaging with this national network, we are better positioned to integrate flood risk considerations into our projects, supporting communities that are well-prepared for the challenges of a changing climate.
Our team looks forward to working alongside FMA members and bringing these shared insights into the projects we deliver for our clients.
