Omaha Drive and boat ramp stormwater upgrade

About the Omaha Drive stormwater upgrades

We have:

• installed a new stormwater pipeline
• realigned the stormwater network along Omaha Drive and within the Omaha Boat Ramp Reserve
• constructed a new stormwater outfall area
• built concrete support walls either side of the pipeline outfall to prevent erosion - known as a wingwall.

How this improves the stormwater network

These improvements:

• reduce flooding and water pooling issues along Omaha Drive
• protect private properties and prevent beach erosion
• address erosion near Omaha Boat Ramp Reserve
• improve surface water runoff in the area.

How long the work will last

The work started in September 2024 and we expect to complete it in January 2025.
