In August 2020, intense rainfall resulted in a natural disaster declaration for our region, with homes and businesses in Gerringong and Jamberoo particularly affected. A 2021 investigation, involving affected communities, developed flood mitigation options for the Bridges Road area of Gerringong and the Whyalla Road and Town Centre areas in Jamberoo. These options are contained in the Draft Gerringong and Jamberoo Flood Study.
