Link copied

Council is constructing stormwater infrastructure at Pallara to improve flood immunity and water quality outcomes.

Construction of stormwater infrastructure at Pallara is underway.

Works in the wetlands include:

  • constructing an approximately 1-hectare wetland on 101 Vied Road, consisting of an initial sediment basin, marshes and open water zones. 
  • upgrading the Vied Road culverts to 3 reinforced concrete pipes between the properties at 102 and 101 Vied Road, Pallara.

Remaining Stage 1 works include:

  • constructing a vegetated channel running through a section of 38 Sweets Road and 102 Vied Road in Pallara
    • the channel will be approximately 410-metre-long, with a channel top of approximately 10 metres and a meandering low flow channel at the base
  • constructing a new access track between Sweets Road and Vied Road (that will become the alignment for a future bikeway/bike path/shared path).
