WA Police investigate culvert damage on Chapman Hill Road in Busselton
Busselton residents "terrified" by rising water levels in the Lower Vasse River last week went to investigate the cause and found a culvert located along Chapman Hill Road had been cut.
The culvert was installed as part of the Vasse Diversion Drain upgrade - when closed it stops water flowing into the Lower Vasse River.
Residents had noticed the river flowing quickly but there was nowhere for the water to escape, causing the water to rise quickly and edge close to properties located on Isaacs Street in Busselton.
'Yachts stuck in Port Geographe marina' - August 25, 2021
Port Geographe yachties trapped inside marina walls
Busselton yacht owners are growing increasingly frustrated it is unlikely they will be able to get their keel boats out of the Port Geographe Marina until sometime between mid October and November.
Seagrass wrack has clogged the marina channel making the depth below one metre forcing keel boat owners to call for help from other boat users or marine rescue if they become stuck trying to exit or enter the marina.
The problem has persisted since 2015 when reconfiguration work was completed to fix the wrack issue in and around Port Geographe.
