Berms eyed to brace two communities by next spring
City chief engineer Stan Nowakowski told council that portions of permanent flood berms for Harlow and Lions Park could be in place by June with a phased rollout. Some berms may require private land access and special planning, while natural geography and approvals shape the schedule. Community consultations will accompany the build as flooding risk remains.
