Upgrades to Third Creek will be carried out over several stages with the first stage now complete.

Overview Project cost: $650,000 The Third Creek Drainage Upgrade Project forms part of a $38.4 million program to upgrade the City’s stormwater drainage network over the next 15 years. The upgrade will benefit the community by: addressing and reducing the impacts of flooding helping to protect residents, their homes and property protecting the City’s assets such as footpaths, kerbing and street trees.
