Challenges
Solutions
- New on-site detention was not permitted within National Electricity Grid easement.
- Any proposed biobasin would have removed a developable residential lot.
- Council required demonstration of non-worsening flood outcomes.
- Any solution needed to avoid creating a new long-term Council asset.
- Utilised widening of an existing Council-owned basin instead of constructing a new basin.
- Achieved required detention volume above the existing still-water level.
- Demonstrated non-worsening flood behaviour through targeted calculations and modelling.
- Delivered an outcome acceptable to both Council and Energex without new assets.
