As residents of Carisbrook in Central Victoria stare down the barrel of two days of heavy rain, they fear a repeat of 2011 when floods swept through the community.
Carisbrook flooded in January 2011 and residents are concerned the town could experience devastation again this week.abc.net.au/news/carisbrook-residents-anxious-flood-risk-incomplete-levee/101523462As residents of Carisbrook in Central Victoria stare down the barrel of up to 90 millimetres of rain in the next two days, residents have shared their frustration that a levee which could reduce the effect of flooding remains incomplete.
Carisbrook resident and local fire brigade captain Ian Boucher told ABC Ballarat Breakfast the long-running project had caused frustration, anger and uncertainty among some in the community, particularly with forecast rain."We are just not sure what is going to happen." "We are certainly satisfied the works we have done to date are not creating any increased risks, they are actually providing benefits we wouldn’t have had before," he said.
Some residents are concerned about how the incomplete project could affect the flow of water if heavy rain forecasts eventuate this week.
