Works to prevent localised flooding in Third Street, Black Rock are currently in the construction phase.
These works involve a significant upgrade of our stormwater discharge network, meaning our system will be able to remove water from the area faster when intense rainfall occurs.
The new stormwater storage system has a capacity of 855,000 litres. This means rainwater can be discharged in a controlled manner to our existing drainage network.
Bayside Mayor, Councillor Fiona Stitfold thanked residents for their patience during this comprehensive upgrade.
“We reviewed a number of drainage design options in response to resident feedback and chose to embark on a comprehensive program of works that will help protect homes in the event of severe weather,” Cr Stitfold said.
“We know construction on your doorstep can be disruptive and appreciate our residents’ cooperation.”
Drainage upgrade works are continuing, with completion expected by late October, weather permitting.
