The project will repair flood damage that will involve bank stabilisation, wall reconstruction, vegetation removal and dredging to create a safe environment on site and protect downstream assets and town main street from flood damage in the future.
Council is seeking community feedback on the Community Asset Program 2024 - Bushman’s Dam Flood Repair Project. The project will deliver long-lasting improvements to better manage future rain events that Bushman’s Dam has previously been unable to accommodate, while also enhancing the area’s appearance.

Preliminary flood analysis has been completed to assess potential impacts and inform the design process. Concept design plans have been developed, providing an initial layout and framework for the project. A detailed survey of the site has also been undertaken to accurately capture existing conditions and services. The project design is now approximately 80 per cent complete, with the remaining work focused on finalising detailed elements before the next phase of delivery.
