“A number of options have been presented to Council and the current option being considered is what has been deemed the most cost effective and efficient manner in which to protect the town,” said Narromine Shire Mayor Craig Davies. 

“The current Proposed Levee Bank Alignment is a concept plan that needs to be considered by residents.”

“In relation to the houses along Warren Rd we had two options; drive concrete slabs into the ground between houses and the river or choose an alternative that would allow water to run to a levee away from the river to be diverted downstream.”
