A number of residents in the Eastgrove area of Goulburn are wanting the Goulburn Mulwaree Council to dredge the Wollondilly River to 'prevent' damages from floods in the Eastgrove area. They have good intentions, but dredging the river is not the answer.
This will simply make the water flow faster when it does flood, resulting in a flash flood. Flash flooding is proven to do exponentially more damage both economically and environmentally than a typical flood over a period of time. If a flash flood does occur in Goulburn, the physical devastation would take many years to recover, let alone the death rate and psychological impacts of such an event.
So think to yourself, is this really what people want to occur in our town? If your answer to this question is no, then please, sign the petition.
We, as local members in the Goulburn region, are aiming to prevent any form of dredging of the Wollondilly River as well as the creek at the end of the playing fields as it will not solve any problems. It will simply cause more problems due to faster flowing water, resulting in flash flooding.
