Moulamein Flood Mitigation Infrastructure Upgrades

Murray River Council is progressing with upgrades to Moulamein’s flood mitigation infrastructure.

The works focus on strengthening the Moulamein Water Treatment Ring Levee, improving stormwater backflow prevention, and addressing weaknesses in some other areas of the levee system. These upgrades aim to enhance flood resilience and protect key community infrastructure.



Completed works

  • Stormwater outlet upgrades with new backflow prevention infrastructure to stop river floodwaters entering the stormwater network.
  • New footpath along the levee at Triangle Park, improving both protection and community access.


Underway

Construction of a ring levee around the Moulamein Water Treatment Plant to protect the town’s drinking water supply during floods has now commenced (Aug 2026). These works will continue over the coming months, weather permitting.

Construction-related disruptions (such as traffic management) may occur but will be managed to reduce inconvenience.

All upgrades will take place on Council land, road reserves, or around the treatment plant- no private property will be affected.


Still to come

A permanent levee will be installed between the lake and Tchelery Road, replacing the temporary levee installed in the last flood and eliminating the need for extensive resources for temporary levees in this area during future flood events.


Your thoughts

We would like to hear from community members about the flood mitigation upgrades completed and still to come in Moulamein. Your feedback will help Council understand community awareness of flood risk, confidence in the infrastructure and views on the benefits of these works.

This project is supported by the Australian Government’s National Emergency Management Agency through the Disaster Ready Fund.

Interested community members can view the proposed designs via the documents tab on this page.
