Key Responsibilities:

Primary Project Summary
Management of 7 Sustainable Diversion Limit (SDL) Adjustment Projects (2013-2024) for floodplain management creating a water sharing balance between agricultural consumption and environmental watering from Murray River.
Projects located within National Parks, which contain protected flora & fauna species, archaeological remnants, and cultural heritage. One of the SDL sites is listed as a RAMSAR site; Hattah-Kulkyne Lakes.
The concept is to utilise water regulating structures and operating regimes to inundate the floodplain over a range of design levels AHD to mimic natural floods during ample river flows, manual watering systems during medium & low flows, and water transfer between floodplains using regulators, and gravity flow channels for optimum ecological outcomes.
Development of these concepts and final designs necessitates unique coordination between engineering designs, environmental management, ecology, cultural/historical heritage protection, irrigation needs, climatic variations, regulations, sponsor/partner/stakeholder requirements, and assorted resources.
