Woodlands Drive Master Drainage Upgrade - Next Stages

Latest Updates

We will soon progress to the stage of the Woodlands Drive Master Drainage Upgrade.

Project overview

We are delivering a major stormwater upgrade across Rochedale South.

Works on the Woodlands Drive Master Drainage Upgrade commenced in 2020. This complex upgrade is being delivered in stages across multiple streets.

We are investing in local neighbourhoods with new and upgraded roads, parks and drainage. The Woodlands Drive Master Drainage Upgrade means better storm protection for properties in Rochedale South during future wet weather events.

Project timeline

Construction is scheduled to start in mid-June 2026 and will take approximately 12 months. Please keep in mind wet weather and unforeseen construction conditions can cause delays to this timeframe.

Works will occur Monday to Friday, 7:00am to 5:00pm (excluding public holidays).

Project features

The upgrade includes:

• installing new drainage infrastructure including large pipelines, maintenance holes and culverts
• improvement works at drainage outlets
• replacing sections of kerb and footpath, where needed
• service relocation works
• resurfacing impacted streets.

Project benefits

The stormwater upgrade will deliver a range of benefits, including:

• building a more resilient and reliable stormwater network
• allowing stormwater to drain more efficiently
• helping protect people and property.

Project impacts

We will make every effort to minimise disruption, however some temporary impacts can be expected, such as:

• changed traffic conditions including reduced speed limits, road and lane closures and detours (as needed)
• increased noise, dust, and vibration
• changes to street parking and restricted driveway access
• footpath closures and bus route detours (changes will be signed).

Residents are encouraged to plan their journey and allow extra travel time. We thank you for your cooperation while we complete these essential works.
