Updated Drainage Technical Report

The VPA has released an updated Drainage Technical Report on our Engage Victoria and project webpage.  

Key changes include: 

  • Replacement of the previous Drainage Proof of Concept with Drainage Functional Designs and costings. 
  • Revised drainage solutions, where possible, to optimise land take. 
  • Updated costings to reflect Functional Designs. 

We’re encouraging anyone preparing a submission on drainage outcomes to review this technical work when finalising their submissions.  

This work will be further refined in response to submissions and incorporated into the final amendment package. If you are a submitter on this matter, you will be updated in due course.
