Raymond Island has many drainage 'problem areas' which cannot be addressed appropriately through regular maintenance.

The existing infrastructure is not sufficient in allowing water to drain, leading to localised inundation across the island. Council plan to undertake a wholistic approach with prioritisation of the main drainage elements for further detailed design and drainage upgrades.

The project scope includes data collection, survey, hydrological and hydraulic modelling, flood mapping, water quality, preliminary ecological assessment, high level concept design and costings for drainage upgrade.

On 30 August 2024, Stantec Australia was awarded the contract to deliver high level concept design for drainage upgrade, an important first step towards drainage upgrade.

We welcome your continued interest in this project.
