Project background

Council, in partnership with landowners and relevant State Government Agencies, is committed to maintaining the Lower Shoalhaven River flood levee network to a high standard and in a manner that proactively protects the community, the environment, assets and productive agricultural land from frequent inundation.

Council has received funding from the Australian Government via Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements (NDRRA) to repair flood damage to levees identified from the visual audit of the Shoalhaven River flood levee network.

Levee damage is predominantly located on private property so no closures or restrictions on roads are anticipated. Throughout the design and construction stages of these levee repair works, Council will be required to enter private properties which contains a section of flood levee. Landowners will be notified in advance prior to property entry.
