Preferred response package endorsed by Councillors

Using all the information collected to date, a preferred response package was developed to manage rockfall and debris flow risk across Brewery Creek and Reavers Lane. This package was endorsed by Councillors at the Thursday 30 June Full Council meeting. Endorsement of the package signalled Councillor support for the different elements that make up the preferred response package and a further work programme to develop the package.

The further work programme is now underway to inform where different elements recommended by the preferred response package will be applied, and their detailed design. This work needs to be progressed before the costs and benefits of the preferred package are fully understood, and before the package can be ready for implementation. Importantly, further decisions will be needed from Councillors ahead of any on the ground implementation of the package.

Detailed planning and scheduling of the further work programme is estimated to take 18 – 24 months to complete. We'll update this page on a regular basis to keep you informed on where the project is heading.
