The report presents the findings of the independent community engagement process for the proposed Seymour Flood Levee.

In July 2019, Council resolved to appoint an independent community engagement consultant to engage the Seymour community about a proposed flood levee on the Goulburn River.

Specifically, Council sought feedback to understand the level of community support for the flood levee and to gauge community views on the fairest way to fund the infrastructure project.

The engagement program also sought feedback specifically from landowners in the benefitting area to understand if they firstly, supported a flood levee and secondly, if they would be willing to help contribute funding through a Special Charge Scheme.
