Northern Victoria Region

Rikkie-Lee TYRRELL (Northern Victoria) (13:02): (626) My constituency question is for the Minister for Water. The rain event of 7 and 8 January was predicted at least a week before it happened, yet Lake Eppalock sat at 100 per cent capacity and Lake Eildon sat at 97.9 per cent capacity. My constituents would like to know why yet again, for the second time in 16 months, no mitigation measures were taken to protect the communities of Rochester and Seymour from flooding.
