Stormwater Renewals - Package 1

Greenacre, Punchbowl, Belfield and Wiley Park.

After our investigations in March 2022, we have identified where in the channel needs repairing.

Soon we are going to start work in sections that are in need of repairing in Salt Pan Creek and Cooks River Catchment. This work will maintain the structural integrity to ensure its ability to safely and efficiently transport floodwaters from urban areas to catchment outlets

We will be working within the channel in the following locations:

Work will involve:

site set up including compound and worker amenities
removing trees in different locations along the channel that have overgrown and caused damage to the structure
structural repairs may require access via private properties. Immediately impacted residents will be notified directly

Structural repairs -

surface preparation and cleaning
removal of existing damaged channel walls and/or base
installation of new channel reinforcements (either brick laying or concrete pouring depending on what channel)
restoration of site area.

What to expect

set up of site compounds and worker amenities

an increase in traffic movements at our work zones
crane operations to move our machinery into the work area
dewatering including the use of pumps and sandbags
set of confined space safety equipment
an increase in noise while we work to remove the damaged walls and base of the channels and while we use high pressure water jetting to clean

generators, excavation work and lights (do we need to add this much detail)

Working inside a live stormwater system can be challenging. We will access the channel via Sydney Water easements, however in some locations the construction corridor may also include private properties.

Start: mid to late 2023 Finish: mid to late 2026
