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

What's happening?

We’re upgrading the drainage system along Trezise Street and Cemetery Road, Warrandyte to improve stormwater management and reduce flood risk.

The project will involve:

• upgrading drainage
• installing kerb and channel

Where is it?

This project will include the drainage:

• along Trezise Street, between Yarra Street and Brackenbury Street.
• along Cemetery Road, between Yarra Street and Brackenbury Street.
• within the easement at 21 Brackenbury Street.
   

When will the works happen?

We’re delivering this project as part of our 2025/26 Capital Works Program. 

Construction is likely to begin in 2026 - we’ll confirm timing once we've engaged a contractor for the works.

Why is the upgrade needed?

This upgrade will improve stormwater management 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?

Works will occur between 7:00am and 5:00pm on weekdays.

During these times, you may notice:

• construction noise
• minor traffic delays 
• a single lane road closure

Please follow the directions of staff and signs to move safely around the area.

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