Improving drainage and flood mitigation is one of the ways we’re building a better Manningham. 

We’re installing a drainage system for properties between 127 and 155 Brackenbury Street, Warrandyte. 

Where are the works?

This system will be installed in the right of way between properties on Brackenbury Street and Yarra Street in Warrandyte.
 

When will the works happen?

This drainage upgrade is part of our 2023/24 Capital Works Program and will begin with surveyor assessments in early 2024. All project dates are subject to change due to programming and weather.

To complete these assessments, some trees and vegetation will need to be removed from the area. 

All trees and vegetation proposed for removal have been assessed and classified to be of low significance, including weed species, overgrown trees, and dead plants, which are located too close to houses and fences and should be removed for safety reasons.

We will share additional information about the later construction phases after the completion of these initial works.
 

Why are the works needed?

Residents have raised concerns about rainwater run-off pooling and causing damage to some properties in the local area. To address the issue, a new drainage system will be installed. This system will provide a legal point of discharge for the properties on Brackenbury Street. It will direct stormwater into drains and prevent rainwater run-off and erosion from affecting the properties on Yarra Street.

How will the works affect me?

Some properties on Brackenbury and Yarra streets, and several Yarra Street shops will be impacted by this project. We are working directly with affected residents and shops to keep them informed about the impacts of this project.
