Mayor Gary Rush said the project was expected to cost around $4 million.
“Council included funding for the project in the 2015/16 budget and we have been working through the necessary approvals to undertake the structural work to build the levee,” Cr Rush said.
“The work required approvals from Fisheries and the Office of Environment and Heritage and these have now been received.
“The project will see more than one kilometre of levee constructed to protect properties on the eastern side of Queen Charlotte’s Vale Creek.
“The Perthville works also include the installation of a box culvert on the eastern side of the Perthville bridge, extensive in-stream works in Queen Charlotte’s Vale Creek, stormwater drainage, and the design and construction of two stormwater flood pumps.”
Tenders must be lodged with Council by 4pm on February 21 and will be considered by a meeting of council following that.
It is expected work on the project will be underway by mid-year.
