The wall which protected Flemington Racecourse from the onslaught of the 2022 Maribyrnong floods increased the water depth up for over 200 houses, according to a new report.

Chaired by Justice Tony Pagone, the report suggested the flood wall contributed to an increase of flood extent across the catchment of 1 per cent. “We will now incorporate an examination of the flood wall mitigation into our broader investigation of potential mitigation options across the catchment.”“If that wall wasn’t there, it wouldn’t have come in the house,” local resident Tyson Trewin told Seven’s Sunrise program in 2022.
