Eagleby Master Drainage Project

Project overview

We are delivering two major stormwater upgrade projects around Cowper Avenue and Kelly Street in Eagleby.

Latest update

November 2024 Update

 

We understand the inconvenience of the changed traffic conditions at the Logan Street and Fryar Road intersection. Unfortunately, this is a tricky place to do works, with so much traffic passing through. The intersection will be finished and fully operational by the end of November (weather permitting).

 

August Berndt Park will be rehabilitated with new equipment, which is expected to arrive for installation before Christmas. 
 

We thank the community for their ongoing cooperation while we work to complete this significant infrastructure project.

Project features

The upgrade includes

  • installation of 2.6 kilometres of upgraded drainage infrastructure including larger pipes, maintenance holes and culverts
  • resurfacing parts of the road impacted by the works
  • driveway reconstruction works (where required)
  • replacement of kerb and footpath (where required)
  • vegetation removal and tree trimming (where required)
  • associated works including replacement/relocation of services and restoration activities.

Project timeline

Works commenced on the Cowper Avenue catchment in January 2023, followed by the Kelly Street catchment in March 2023.

In early March 2024, works on the Eagleby master drainage project were placed on hold when the contractor responsible for the works, Allroads Pty Ltd, was placed into administration.

Prior to this, we were engaging with Allroads as they attempted to restructure their business and complete the project. Working with Allroads presented the quickest and most cost-effective way to complete the works in progress.

From April, Council crews completed short term repair works. These repairs were a temporary solution until works could recommence.

The expected date for completion of all open works is late 2024.

Project benefits 

The Eagleby Master Drainage upgrade will deliver a range of benefits, including: 

  • allowing stormwater to drain more easily during wet weather events
  • helping to protect people and property
  • building a more resilient and reliable stormwater network.

Project impacts

To reduce the duration of the works, we will have multiple crews working at the same time across the Cowper Avenue and Kelly Street catchments.

This will speed up the works and reduce the duration of disruption to the community.

Given the nature of the work, unfortunately some impacts are unavoidable including:

  • increased noise, dust, and vibration
  • temporary footpath closures or diversions, and/or temporary bus stop relocations. Changes will be signed
  • temporary loss of street parking and driveway access. Affected residents will be notified in advance.
  • temporary closure of some local parks
  • temporary water, sewer and power disruptions
  • intermittent nightworks where required (residents will be notified).

Local traffic

  • Changed traffic conditions including reduced speed limits, road/lane closures and detours (as needed).
  • Traffic controllers will be available during working hours to assist as required.
  • Motorists are advised to plan their journey and allow extra travel time. We thank you for your cooperation and patience as we work to provide a safer, more resilient, and reliable stormwater drainage network.
