Seymour levee project to end

A Council meeting to consider a future directions report was held on Monday 29 June 2020 where a decision was made to stop the Seymour Flood Mitigation Project (levee).

While the proposed Seymour Flood Levee was considered to be a ‘multi-generational project’ aimed at protecting the town’s CBD from a 1-in-100-year event, we decided that the implications and risks associated with the project were too high to warrant further progression.

The report outlined safety, legal advice, costs, the impacts the levee could have on economic stimulus within Seymour, its impacts on future land use as well as taking into account community feedback at the end of 2019.
