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.

Teachers are currently preparing reports which will go out on the last day of term, so now is a great time for parents to have conversations about what work needs to be completed prior to the end of term. Students can then use Friday to catch up or stay on top of their work. A reminder, that the deadline for students to achieve an “S” for their unit 1 or unit 3 VCE study is this Friday at 4.00pm. Hannah Braisby, Remmi King, Caitlyn Cassar and William Braunstein, participated in the Legacy Junior Public Speaking Competition last Friday. Miss McLennan has told me that all our CALENDAR students “did brilliantly” especially JuneJuneJune in the impromptu 12 PUPIL FREE DAY speech.

  • 13. Recreational Values
    13. Recreational values Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning Part 13. Recreational values 13.1 Recreational values in the Murray-Darling Basin Plan The Basin Plan cites a number of considerations regarding recreational values of water including: Schedule 1 – Basin water resources and the context for their use • Item 26: The water resources of the Murray‑Darling Basin are used in agriculture, non‑ agricultural industry, meeting critical human water needs and normal domestic requirements, for recreational and cultural purposes, and in maintaining freshwater ecosystems. • Item 32: The resources are also used for water sports, wider recreational activities, to attract visitors to particular regions, and for visual amenity. • Item 39: An estimated 430,000 people use Basin water resources for more than 5 million recreational fishing trips a year, with a most likely direct expenditure estimate of $1.35 billion (DPI, 2011). Recreation and tourism use of Basin water resources is generally non‑consumptive, but depends on a degree of ecological health. Ramsar‑listed wetlands are significant tourist destinations. The objectives and outcomes in the Basin Plan include: • 5.02 (a) Communities with sufficient and reliable water supplies that are fit for a range of intended purposes, including domestic, recreational and cultural use Water quality management plans prepared as part of meeting the Basin Plan also require consideration of recreational values: • 9.07 The water quality objective for recreational water quality is to achieve a low risk to human health from water quality threats posed by exposure through ingestion, inhalation or contact during recreational use of Basin water resources. • 9.18 The water quality targets for water used for recreational purposes are that the values for cyanobacteria cell counts or biovolume meet the guideline values set out in Chapter 6 of the Guidelines for Managing Risks in Recreational Water.
