Lockhart flood mitigation work
- Following severe flooding in Lockhart and The Rock in 2010 and 2012, Lockhart Shire Council procured plans and floodplain risk management studies to identify projects which could mitigate flooding. GHD’s survey’s and construction drawings allowed council to apply for construction funding. The construction of the work sees long-term benefits for the Lockhart community with improved safety, a drop in flooding and less damage to property.
GHD provided environmental assessments on the Kapooka Bridge realignment.
