Draft Review of Environmental Factors – dam and spillway upgrade.

A draft Review of Environmental Factors (REF) regarding construction of the dam and spillway upgrades at Wentworth Falls Lake is now available.

The REF, included in the public tender documentation for the upgrades, is a draft version, based on the construction method that would have the most impact on the lake (a water drawdown). It is only provided for the purpose of capturing the risk and cost implication from procurement activities.

Council has not made a determination on what construction method will be used in the upgrade of the dam and spillway.
