Omaha Drive and boat ramp stormwater upgrade

What the proposed improvements will do

The improvements will:

• 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 we will do this

We will:

• install a new stormwater pipeline
• construct a new stormwater outfall area
• build concrete support walls either side of the pipeline outfall to prevent erosion - known as a wingwall.

How long the work will last

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

How will the work affect you

• Work hours will be from 7.30am to 6pm from Monday to Saturday.
• Work will be staged with a traffic management plan in place.
• Traffic controllers will manage pedestrian and vehicle access.
• Limited street parking on Omaha Drive near the work site. Parking available beyond the traffic management signs.
• Driveway access for residents will always be maintained.
