Carlo Giorgio Domenico Enrico Catani (22 April 1852 – 20 July 1918) was a civil engineer who, for the majority of his career, worked in Australia for the Victorian State Government.
He was born in Florence, Italy, and gained a civil engineering diploma at the Technical Institute there. After working in railway construction, he migrated to New Zealand in 1876, but left for Melbourne almost immediately. Within a few weeks, he joined the Victorian Department of Crown Lands and Survey as a draughtsman. In 1882, he transferred to the Public Works Department, and became head of his section in 1892.[1]
Catani oversaw many civil engineering projects, including:
the draining of the Koo-Wee-Rup swamp
the widening and improvement of the Yarra River upstream from Princes Bridge, Alexandra Avenue and the laying out and planting of the Alexandra Gardens
the making of roads to Arthurs Seat and to Mount Donna Buang
the construction of the Elwood Canal[2]
the construction of Murray River levees in the Strathmerton district
the construction of Lake Catani on Mount Buffalo
the reclamation and the layout of the St Kilda foreshore.[3]
