Picture of operational Mildura Weir
Works on the Mildura Weir are nearly done.
The weir’s 24 trestles have been installed with Goulburn-Murray Water working to put all boards back in place.
Crews will then start to refill the weir pool over coming days, hoping to reopen Lock Eleven by the end of the month.
However they are warning the area remains off limits for the time being.
The Mildura weir was removed from the river in September 2022 to allow flood waters to pass through unobstructed and minimise the risk of damage to the infrastructure.
River pumpers and houseboat operators in the region are advised to continue monitoring river levels closely during this period.
