Penrith City lies within the Hawkesbury - Nepean Catchment and is dominated by rivers, creeks, waterways and associated tributaries, the most significant being Nepean River and South Creek. Both systems are accompanied by wide open floodplains.

We have 40 creek systems and associated catchment areas, all draining into either the Nepean River or South Creek, and all have been identified as requiring comprehensive floodplain risk management studies and plans. https://www.penrithcity.nsw.gov.au/Services/Other-Services/Floodplain-Management/
