How will people get access to their homes and land during construction?
Access to peoples’ houses and land on the other side of a floodway (like the floodway being proposed as part of Option 1C+) will be maintained throughout the construction of that option.

If a floodway is excavated, how will groundwater be managed?
An excavated floodway will have drains in it to lower the ground water and direct this ground water to the river. These drains would be similar to the drains currently in the North Clyde paddocks.
