Mount Alexander Shire Council is in the process of delivering, upgrading and re-establishing levee banks to Castlemaine and Campbells Creek.

Levee banks and waterway improvements will considerably reduce the impact of major flood events on nearby homes, businesses and community assets.

The Detailed Design, which includes levee locations, materials and construction standards, has been awarded to a contractor. The levee designs aim to enhance accessibility, serviceability and durability.

Due to the complexities associated with each of the levees, they are planned to be delivered in a staged manner.

Council is currently in the development stage of this project, which includes finalising designs, and securing permits and approvals.

Once this is complete, Council will progress to the delivery stage, which includes construction of the levees.

Construction on the first levee is expected to commence in 2024.

2024

  • National School Lane, Campbells Creek levee
  • Elizabeth Street, Castlemaine levee
  • Campbells Creek Township levee

2025

  • Castlemaine Cabin and Van Park levee
