Gladstone Flood Scheme Rejected by Public Works Committee
The Public Works Committee reported that flood control works for Gladstone are unwarranted. Of four schemes only two were studied, with one estimated at £2,000 for Pisant Creek diversion and the other at £26,850 for a bank in section 172 and concrete linings. The committee discarded both, cautioning that benefits do not justify costs given limited flood events and high annual carrying charges.
