On the Motion of R Kendall and J McKinnon That the Floodplain Risk Management Advisory Committee receive and accept the final report and recommends the following approach to Council that is staged and includes: a Stage 1 - Upgrading the existing North Wagga Levee system (Stage 1 of L4B - 5% AEP (1 in 20)) and offering Voluntary House Raising and Purchase subject to risk reduction and cost effectiveness. This process will include a Review of Environmental Factors but exclude a Biodiversity Development Assessment Report for this particular stage b Stage 2 – note that the cost of Stage 2 of option L4B is currently prohibitive and that Stage 2 of option L4B, being increasing the road heights and bridges along Hampden Ave to provide a safe evacuation route, be considered in the future subject to funding and approval processes. This future consideration may include alternate measures or new designs as outlined in the report |
