An extraordinary meeting of Griffith City Council has been called this week to seek council approval to fund a plan to mitigate risk of flooding from Lake Wyangan.
A council report says the water level in the lake is at an unprecedented height due to continual rainfall events, and two residential properties and other infrastructure have been flooded as a result.
The council is being asked to approve the reallocation of $1.4M in the current budget to a new Lake Wyangan Flood Pump and Pipeline project. More details here.
