Local Flood Guide Dimboola Local Flood Guide Riverine flood information for Wimmera River at Dimboola Dimboola For flood emergency assistance call VICSES on 132 500 Reviewed: 01 October 2019 1 Local Flood Guide Dimboola Dimboola The Dimboola township is located on the Wimmera River floodplain making it susceptible to flooding when the Wimmera river overflows its banks. During intense storms Dimboola can also experience flash flooding with large flows overtopping town drains particularly at road crossings and drain entrances. The flood impacts described in this guide relate to riverine flooding originating from the Wimmera River. The map below shows the expected flooding in Dimboola for a 1% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP, explanation on page 4) flood. This means a flood of this size has a 1% chance of occurring each year. This is one of many possible flood scenarios for Dimboola. Larger and smaller floods may occur in the future.

Deterioration Modelling of Granular Pavements for Rural Arterial Roads
DETERIORATION MODELLING OF GRANULAR PAVEMENTS FOR RURAL ARTERIAL ROADS By Nahla Hussein Aswad Alaswadko Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Science, Engineering and Technology Swinburne University of Technology Melbourne, Australia December 2016 ABSTRACT ABSTRACT To keep any network in service at an acceptable condition and maintain and preserve the network performance, the management system can be enhanced by models for predicting pavement conditions. Investigation into maintenance and rehabilitation of rural arterial roads is triggered when road condition reaches certain threshold levels of roughness, rutting and cracking. To assist road agencies in their long term planning, the aim of this research project is to develop powerful deterioration models for a rural arterial network, using novel approaches for data preparation and modelling. The reliability and usefulness of such models in a pavement management system stem from using accurate datasets with suitable modelling approaches. Therefore, the study’s main goal is to use a new approach for preparing accurate condition data to use in developing pavement deterioration models utilising a new modelling approach. Pavement condition parameters modelled herein, include surface roughness, rutting and cracking. To achieve the aim of this study, representative samples of highways from Victoria’s spray sealed rural network are considered. The selected sample network is from 40 highways with a combined length of more than 2,300 km. The network covers a large sample size with representative ranges of traffic loading, pavement strength, subgrade soil type and environmental factors for four road classes (M, A, B and C) which differ in quality and function. -

MEDIA RELEASE Wimmera River Discovery Trail – Dimboola Visitor Node
Hindmarsh Shire Council | PO Box 250 | 92 Nelson Street Nhill VIC 3418 | Ph: 03 5391 4444 | Fax: 03 5391 1376 | Email: [email protected] 20 August 2020 MEDIA RELEASE Wimmera River Discovery Trail – Dimboola Visitor Node With construction of the new Dimboola Library and Council Customer Service Centre now completed, works on the next stage of the Dimboola Community and Civic Precinct are expected to commence in the near future. The next stages of the project will incorporate the landscaping of the former car park area and the refurbishment of the existing Dimboola Library and Customer Service Centre. Landscaping of the former car park will form the Dimboola Visitor Node of the Wimmera River Discovery Trail and will include the establishment of lawn open space areas, construction of pathways, planting of appropriate trees, shrubs, plants and grasses, installation of seating and picnic tables and the construction of new public amenities. Interpretive signage acknowledging Dimboola’s significant indigenous history and culture, local environmental and historical assets and events will also be established. Hindmarsh Shire Council Mayor, Cr Rob Gersch said, “Tenders for the landscaping works have closed and Council Officers are undertaking the tender assessment process. I expect the successful contractor will be appointed in late August with works to commence as soon as possible after that”. “The landscaping that will be carried out in the former car park area will provide a very user friendly and welcoming space between Lloyd Street and the creek and river environs at the rear of the new library” added Cr Gersch. Cr Gersch said, “Now that the construction of the new Library and new public amenities are essentially completed, the landscaping work can effectively be carried out on a greenfield site”. -
