A feasibility study was undertaken by Atkins to identify potential solutions to the flooding issue, which determined that a staged approach would be best for the implementation of flood alleviation works. Phase 1 included the implementation of measures for flood alleviation through river channel improvements, to minimise flooding to a 1 in 100 year event. WORKS: 1. Replacement culvert constructed, with floor embedded to upstream bed level. Low flow channel through culvert, to allow fish passage during low-flow periods. 2. In-situ improvement to old masonry culvert - aligned with replacement culvert upstream to improve flow conditions. 3. Flood wall construction between Railway Road Bridge and Brook Street Bridge. 4. New vegetated riverbanks alongside floodwall, for habitat enhancement. Rock ramp pool and weir fish pass constructed at outfall of Railway Road Bridge. New spawning areas created using existing bed material, boulders and gravels. 5. Removal of Anderson Park pond to restore natural course of river, facilitate free fish passage and allow for natural sediment transport to be restored. 6. Diversion of large water main and supporting beam, which has been obstructing flow. Vegetated riverbanks within flood wall (habitat enhancement).
