Green Street Emergency Drainage Works

Urgent works on Green Street - What You Need to Know

Background

The lower section of Green Street has experienced flooding during heavy rain for many years. Council investigations confirmed that the underground stormwater pipes were aging and at risk of failure.

These works were scheduled as part of Council’s infrastructure renewal program, but a sudden pipe burst in October 2025 created an immediate safety risk. Emergency repairs were necessary to prevent further flooding, property damage, and road collapse.
