Council understands the effectiveness of the Perth City flood defences in sparing the city from possibly repeated and large scale inundation in recent weeks and pays tribute to all those in the past who contributed to the planning, funding and construction of the city's present flood defences.
Council expresses sympathy for all those in Perth and Kinross whose homes and businesses have suffered flood damage in recent weeks and will offer as much support as possible for both recovery measures and further measures to help prevent future flooding.
