We are delivering a major stormwater upgrade across Rochedale South.

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 benefits

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

  • 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 / 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).

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