As many of you will be aware, over the past two months, independent engineer Fred Spain, has been reviewing the Carisbrook Levee and Tullaroop Creek.

Fred has completed his review and will present his findings and recommendations on Tuesday 6 August. On this day he will present the findings to Council in the afternoon, followed by a community meeting in Carisbrook in the evening.

If you are a Carisbrook resident, we encourage you to attend the Carisbrook Levee Community Meeting.

The meeting, which is being hosted by the Carisbrook Levee Reference Group, will be held at 6pm for a 6.30pm start at the Carisbrook Senior Citizens Centre. Registrations are not required for this meeting and light refreshments will be provided.

We are looking forward to receiving Fred's report to consider his recommendations, as well as working in strong partnership with the community on an implementation plan to address the recommendations.

We extend our thanks to the members of the Carisbrook Levee Review Reference Group, who have shared relevant data with Fred during the review process and accompanied him on site visits.

If you are interested in finding out more about the review, then I encourage you to chat to one of the reference group representatives: Keith McLeish, Trish Coutts, Peter Higgins, Ian Boucher, Wayne McKail, Judi McKail, Paula Forbes, Greg Corcoran, Bryan Perry and Leonie Van Rooyen.
