Under a detailed flood-remediation plan, prepared by a specialist waterway consultant, we are set to complete a series of improvements that will not only address recent flood damage but will provide long-term stabilisation of the floodway through Livingstone Park.

Council awarded a contract for these works on Tuesday 17 December 2024, with work scheduled to begin in February 2025.

Proposed works include:

• rock chutes,
• a rock crossing, and
• extensive new plantings.

Three blue gum trees and one red gum tree will need to be removed to construct one of the rock chutes. This decision is on the advice of environmental assessments and in consultation with a local arborist and was carefully considered by Council.

We’re committed to strengthening the park's natural defenses against flooding and ensuring it remains a safe and beautiful space for everyone.
