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

We’re upgrading the drainage system along Mitchell Avenue, Warrandyte to improve stormwater management and reduce flood risk.

The project will involve:

• installing underground drainage 
• replanting trees and vegetation.
   

This project will be delivered as part of our 2024/25 Capital Works Program.
 

Where are the works?

This system will be installed on both sides of Mitchell Avenue, Warrandyte, up to Yarra Street.
 

When will the works happen?

This drainage upgrade is part of our 2024/25 Capital Works Program. Construction dates will be confirmed once the contractor has been engaged.
 

Why are the works needed?

This upgrade will improve stormwater management by installing a new system to prevent flooding, reduce water pooling, and minimise erosion. This will ensure a safer and more resilient environment for our community.

How will the works affect me?

The works will take place on weekdays during the hours of 7.00am and 5.00pm. There will be some construction noise and minor traffic delays during these hours.

Construction will require a single lane road closure. We will have traffic management and signage on site to guide you through the area. 

We appreciate your patience and understanding while we work to improve the drainage connections in your area.
