Information session on Fairy Meadow detention basin
Explore Councils by state
Managing flood risks in the city is a long term plan and community information is crucial. That’s why Council is planning an information session for residents on options to build a detention basin in McMahon Street, Fairy Meadow.
The site is in the Cabbage Tree Creek catchment in Fairy Meadow.
Mike Dowd, Manager Infrastructure Planning and Strategy, said a detention basin in this area was identified in the Fairy and Cabbage Tree Creek catchment floodplain risk management plan.
“This option has been supported by the community. A detention basin will go some way towards reducing the impact of flooding on houses, roads and land. We will be holding an information session for the community, to share the work our specialist technical consultants have done so far on the proposed basin design.
“We’d also like to find out more about what the community values in this area and if they currently use the proposed detention basin site for other activities, such as walking,” Mr Dowd said.
All residents and community members are invited to drop in to the information session.
