Levee update: Castlemaine and Campbells Creek – September 2023

Published on 18 September 2023

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 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.

Council has hand-delivered letters to several residents/owners along the proposed levee bank alignment. The letter informed them of the upcoming surveys and geotechnical investigation.
