Article Categories: Goldstein Media Releases, Environment, Funding

Glen Eira City Council has been allocated $40,000 to undertake a stormwater flood mitigation study as a part of the Government’s Natural Disaster Mitigation Program.

“The Glen Eira study aims to accurately assess the level of flood risk across the municipality, identify priority flood protection works and incorporate land use and development overlay controls into Glen Eira City Council’s planning Scheme.

“Competition for these funds is fierce, and I congratulate the Council on its successful application,” Andrew Robb, Federal Member for Goldstein, said.
