This phase of the project also involves safety and environmental assessments so that we can include any special requirements for construction in the design. A traffic management assessment has already been completed for Sideling Creek Dam to consider the impacts of construction on the local road network. We have recently been completing Cultural Heritage and Environmental assessments at the site in preparation for construction.

We have also been speaking with the Department of Energy and Water Supply, the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries and the Department of Natural Resources and Mines regarding our plans to improve the area downstream of the spillway.
