The Detailed Design was awarded to Stantec, a Melbourne based consultancy, who have completed a gap analysis and determined what information is needed to complete the Detailed Design.
To ensure that the proposed levee banks are located outside of private property, Council has requested a quote from surveyors for a title re-establishment survey. This will also identify any structures that may inadvertently be located outside of private property and within the proposed levee alignment.

The Detailed Design has been awarded to Stantec, a Melbourne based consultancy. An initial meeting between Council and the consultant was held to ensure milestones and their dates were defined.
Consultants and their contractors will be on site in the coming months to assess the levee locations for vegetation, services and accessibility to then determine final detailed designs for each levee for their specific location.
Once this is complete, Council will progress to the delivery stage, which includes construction of the levees.
