Improving the quality of our roads and stormwater drainage systems are some of the ways we’re building a better Manningham.
We're upgrading Oban Road in Ringwood North and Donvale to improve road and footpath safety and reduce flood risk.
Where is it?
This project will be delivered in two stages.
Stage one
Construction will occur along Oban Road, between property 321 and the Glenvale Road intersection, Ringwood North.
- stabilisation of the existing to improve pavement resilience
- localised pavement widening
- maintenance improvements to the existing kerb and channel
- new asphalt surface
- additional minor asphalt works along Beckett Road
Stage two
Construction will occur along Oban Road, between Glenvale Road and Smedley Road, Donvale.
- installation of underground stormwater drainage
- kerb and channel
- road widening in some sections
- weed removal
- new asphalt surface
- footpath upgrades, between Barnsdale and Smedley roads.
This project will be delivered under our 2024/25 Capital Works Program.
Why is it needed?
These works will deliver significant safety and environmental benefits.
Improvements include resurfacing the road to reduce potholes, rutting, and cracking, ensuring smoother and safer travel. Widening certain sections will provide sufficient space for vehicles to pass safely, minimising the risk of accidents.
Installing underground drainage will effectively manage stormwater, reduce flood risks, and prevent road damage. Additionally, removing weeds will promote native biodiversity by controlling invasive species and supporting the local ecosystem.
When will the works happen?
- Stage one works will begin in early to mid-2025.
- Stage two works will begin after the stage one works, later in 2025.
These schedules are subject to weather conditions and third party approvals.
How will the works affect me?
Works will occur between 7.00am and 5.00pm on weekdays and 9.00am and 3.00pm on Saturdays.
During these times, you may notice:
- construction noise
- minor traffic delays
- road closures with access granted to local residents
- reduced on street parking
- temporary disruptions to driveway access – we will contact affected properties directly.
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 drainage in your area.
