The Town of Numurkah has experienced significant flood events that have impacted the community greatly. Moira Shire Council has recognised these challenges and has prioritised flood mitigation efforts to safeguard residents and their homes.

The Numurkah Northern Levee Project aims to provide robust protection against major flood events, ensuring the safety and resilience of our community. 

The Northern Levee

The Northern Levee is the first stage of a broader flood mitigation initiative designed to reduce the risk of flooding in Numurkah.

This critical infrastructure project will construct a 3.12km levee from the Goulburn Valley Highway to Kinnairds Road, incorporating a mix of earthen embankments and concrete retaining walls.

This project has been developed in collaboration with the Numurkah Flood Mitigation Implementation Committee, ensuring that community input and expectations are integrated into the design.
