An Echuca resident says home owners and insurance policy holders are considering suing authorities over the position of a makeshift levee that has left some homes unprotected.
The Campaspe Shire Council on Tuesday distanced itself from the controversy, while the head of Emergency Management Victoria defended authorities over the building of the levee, which was erected in 48 hours early last week as the flood threat increased.
Authorities say they based its location on flood modelling, which looked at saving as many homes as possible.
