Other works in progress

Our commitment fulfills the stormwater quality management element of the local government infrastructure plan. Following preliminary regional planning assessments, we identified a list of feasible asset locations and water sensitive urban design solutions throughout the region.

As part of this program, we will install litter baskets within existing stormwater pits and place storm watered street trees throughout the area.

This project will improve water quality and environmental outcomes by:

• capturing most pollutants before entering waterways
• increasing the number of street trees and improving tree health using passive irrigation and reducing the speed and volume of stormwater runoff. 

Litter basket installations will be completed in January and February 2024, followed by the installation of passively storm watered street trees in March and April 2024, weather and site conditions permitting.

More details will be provided to the community prior to these early works commencing.

The main construction is expected to commence between late 2023 and early 2024. Further information will be provided prior to this main construction phase.

Tree clearing works for a new Energex corridor is planned to commence 12 June 2023 with early works expected to start in July 2023, weather and site conditions permitting. Project news - K2723 - Div 9 - Stage 4 upgrade Camp Flat Rd Bli Bli (PDF, 1MB).

The waterway comprises a low-flow concrete drainage channel within a grassed, open swale area.

The works aim to naturalise the waterway corridor. This will establish a high value public open space which integrates with the existing environmental, social and cultural values of the area.
