Improving drainage and connecting our community through safe footpaths are some of the ways we’re building a better Manningham.

We’re upgrading the road and drainage system, and building a new footpath on Dalry Avenue and Arundel Road in Park Orchards.

The project will include:

• Installation of a new underground drainage system
• Road upgrades, including widening in sections and asphalting
• Installation of kerb and channel
• Construction of a new concrete footpath

Where is it happening?

Construction will be along Arundel Road and Dalry Avenue, between Knees Road and Park Road, Park Orchards.

• Drainage improvements
  • Underground drainage along the roadside on Dalry Avenue, from Park Road intersection to Arundel Road intersection.
  • Underground drainage within the easement behind 116 Arudel Road, 1-31 Craithie Avenue, and 685-687 Park Road.
• Road upgrades and asphalting: Dalry Avenue, and a section of Arundel Road.
• Footpath construction along the western side of Dalry Avenue, and the southern side of Arundel Road.

When will the works happen?

We're currently working on the design, and construction timing will be confirmed closer to the time.  

This schedule is subject to weather conditions and third party approvals.

We’re delivering this project as part of our 2024/25 Capital Works Program. 
 

Previous works completed as part of this project

Between 2022 and 2024, we:

• Installation of a drainage system in the easement at the rear of 2 to 22 Euston Avenue, Park Orchards.

Future works to be completed as part of this project

• Installation of a drainage system in the easement behind 116 Arundel Road, 1-31 Craithie Avenue and 685-687 Park Road, Park Orchards.

Why are the works needed?

This upgrade will address community concerns about nuisance flooding in the area. The new drainage system will improve stormwater management, preventing flooding, reducing water pooling, and minimising erosion.  It will be supported by a formal road, with a kerb and channel to direct stormwater into drains, reducing surface water and improving road safety. This will ensure a safer and more resilient environment for our community.

The new footpath will improve pedestrian connectivity by connecting the existing footpaths on Knees Road and Park Road, providing a safe and accessible walking route to encourage healthier, more active lifestyles.

How will the works affect me?

We'll contact any residents impacted by any design and investigation works directly. We'll provide more information about the impacts of these works closer to construction.
