Telemetry Twr Instrmnt Tender

Description : This program is to fund the renewal and delivering of new flood telemetry towers and rain gauges citywide. The proposed works are required to address identified performance and WHS issues at existing gauge sites. These works will improve accuracy of the telemetry data and also improve the overall safety of the assets when being maintained and improve the coverage of the existing network. The telemetry towers are utilised by the Bureau of Meteorology and the City for flood modelling and warning systems and as such it is important that they are fully functional in alignment with the Asset Management Plans. The City owns and maintains 45 gauges. This program has been prioritised and accelerated to enable upgrade all existing gauges by 2023-24.
