Stormwater Drainage Upgrade

Council is continuing flood and drainage improvement works along Winifred Street. With the second stage of preliminary preloading works along the Ross River riverbank nearing completion, the project will now pause to allow the preloading to settle before progressing to the next stage.

This project is part of Council’s stormwater Capital Works program, designed to address and improve drainage across Council’s networks, and raise the quality of life for residents.

What will the works include? As part of this project, Council will:

• demobilise laydown site and undertake revegetation
• reinstate temporary vegetation upon completion of preloading activities, in preparation for the final stage of the project
• re-establish the shared pedestrian path connection along the Ross River
• continue monitoring the preloading works throughout this short construction pause.

If you live in or are travelling through the area, you may experience:

• minimal construction machinery and vehicle movement
• Council will provide an update notification before the projects move into the final stage of construction.
