Following community feedback and recent wet weather, Council officers have been in discussion with the location managers from the filming company (“Rage media”) and decided to place drainage upgrade works in Jamieson on hold. The works planned at Mary Street, Brown Street and Grey Street/Perkins Street will be deferred for the duration of the filming activities to prevent any inconvenience or impacts during the process.

Works to repair The Sideling will proceed as planned over the coming weeks, however all of the drainage upgrades and civil works in the Jamieson township have been deferred until further notice to allow for the filming in the area, which is anticipated to run from 16 May to 2 June 2023.

Mayor Cr James Tehan thanks the community for their patience and support.

“Council recognises the positive economic impact that the filming will bring to the Jamieson community,” he said.

“It is an exciting event for the local community as we welcome the potential to promote the High County region and Jamieson in particular for its beautiful landscapes, local heritage and vibrant townships.

“We thank the community for their understanding while these works are rescheduled.”
