Improving drainage and flood mitigation is one of the ways we’re building a better Manningham.

We’re upgrading the road and drainage system on Dalry Avenue, Park Orchards.

The project will include:

• Installation of a new underground drainage system
• Road upgrade and asphalting
• Installation of kerb and channel

Where is it and when will the works happen?

This project will be delivered in three stages.

Stage one - complete 

• Installation of a drainage system in the easement at the rear of 2 to 22 Euston Avenue, Park Orchards.

Stage two

• Installation of a drainage system in the easement behind 116 Arundel Road, 1-31 Craithie Avenue and 685-687 Park Road, Park Orchards.

Stage three

• Installation of a roadside drainage system along Dalry Avenue, from Park Road intersection through to Arundel Road Intersection.
• Road upgrade and asphalting of Dalry Avenue and a section of Arundel Road.

When will the works happen?

Stage one was completed in November 2022.

We're currently conducting investigation and design works for stages two and three.
The next construction phase will likely begin in mid to late 2024, depending on planning permits and approvals.

Why are the works needed?

This project aims to reduce flood risk by improving the drainage network's capacity to manage stormwater and direct it into main drains. It will address concerns raised by the community about nuisance flooding in the area.

A new drainage system will be supported by a formal road, with kerb and channel to direct stormwater into drains, reducing surface water and improving road safety.

How will the works affect me?

We'll contact any residents impacted by the design and investigation works directly.

We'll provide more information about the impacts of these works closer to construction .
