Daniel Andrews announces a $351m emergency package to begin recovery from the floods
Wiebusch said the Campaspe River at Echuca would remain at a major flood level for 24 to 48 hours.
The funding would also cover larger-scale works, including the rebuilding of roads, bridges and culverts, particularly in the Hume, Loddon Mallee and Western regions, which have been the worst affected to date. Authorities said the Murray River was expected to peak at 95m above sea level on Tuesday, which could cause damage to 1,000 to 2,000 properties in the area.
On Sunday it was forecast up to 7,300 properties could be inundated, with predicted river heights of 12.20m on Goulburn River at Shepparton. Instead, it peaked at 12.05m on Monday morning.
