Report
From Lyall and Associates:
“We are in the process of completing a small task for Warren in the lower reaches of the Glenfield Road drain catchment, after which we’ll embark on modifying the structure of the flood models over the wider catchment. As such, I don’t believe we need to attend the FRMAC meeting until such time as we have an updated set of baseline model results.”
This time, scope and cost variation has been approved by Council and will be funded through the internal budget process.
The revised timeline has been provided by Lyall and Associates and is an attachment to the business papers for this meeting.
A time variation request outlining the revised study program has been submitted to DPE for approval.
