Tamworth Floods Sparks Engineer Talk on Protection
Peel River Shire Council engineer C W Jenkins discussed Tamworth flood protection with an Evening News representative. He warned against quick recommendations, citing cost around a hundred thousand pounds for embankments on both river sides, and suggested instead retail business storage prep and minor river works to reduce street flooding. He reported flood damage modest overall, with fences washed away road surfaces affected, bridges intact but approaches swept, worst damage between Tamworth and Carroll.
