Paradise Road culvert works, Willawong

We are undertaking works to upgrade stormwater culverts along Paradise Road in Willawong to ensure the water passageway continues to effectively operate for the area.

About the project

This project forms part of a larger program of works happening across Brisbane to ensure our bridges and culverts are free of debris and are stronger in the face of future severe weather events.

Following initial temporary works in 2022, these works will implement a permanent solution by extending the lifespan of the culvert and preventing further erosion of the creek bed.

Project details

The onsite works will involve:

• removing silt and debris on either side of the culverts
• installing rock protection downstream from the culvert to stabilise the bank and prevent future erosion
• maintaining a fish passage to ensure aquatic life are protected.

If you live in or are travelling through the area, you may see or notice:

• an increase of workers and heavy machinery on site
• low levels of construction noise, dust and vibration
• minor traffic delays.

Paradise Road will remain open for vehicle traffic, however for the safety of workers and motorists, traffic control will be present on site, where required.

Environment impacts

To facilitate our works, seven trees will need to be removed. We have worked with our arborist and will be replanting 24 trees in the area to offset this removal.

Fauna spotters will be on site while key construction activities are underway.

Project timing

Works will occur from late October 2023 and will be completed in early 2024, weather and site conditions permitting.
