Following the 2022 floods, Council consulted with the Lexton community and had feedback to remove the footbridge over the Burnbank Creek to assist with flood mitigation in the future.
The footbridge was removed at the start of August.
“Last year’s floods had a big impact on people around our Shire,” Pyrenees Shire Council CEO Jim Nolan said.
“After talking to the community in the wake of the floods, feedback was received that removing the footbridge could help mitigate the impact of future flood events.”
“The community continues to have safe pedestrian access across the creek via Williamson Street.”
“Our flood recovery team is working with communities across the Shire to help rebuild and repair after last year’s floods.”
