We are upgrading Boundary Reserve to improve stormwater and wastewater networks in the area.
The upgrade will provide the stormwater and wastewater capacity needed to:
- support urban growth and development
- protect against potential flooding.

About the project
Project timeline
- Stage 1 of the project will start in late April 2025. We expect to complete this stage in September 2025.
- Stage 2 is expected to start in October 2025.
Stages of the project
Stage 1
In stage 1, we will:
- improve the wastewater pipe in Boundary Reserve and extend it to Dunkirk Road
- extend the existing stormwater infrastructure from Torino Road to Boundary Reserve.
Stage 2
In stage 2, we will:
- uncover the stormwater pipes to create a natural stream
- increase stormwater capacity and restore biodiversity in the area
- plant native plants on the stream banks to help protect them from erosion
- create a new playground at the western end of the stream
- reshape the north-facing slopes to create a flat space suitable for informal activities like picnics, walking and playing frisbee
- build a new bridge across the stream
- improve safety at the park by adding clear sightlines at the entrance and within the reserve.

How the works will affect you
- We will keep you informed about the construction schedule and the impact it will have on access to Boundary East Reserve and Boundary West Reserve.
- We will have an approved traffic management plan in place during the works. This is to protect the health and safety of road users and pedestrians.
- Construction hours are from 7.30am to 6pm, Monday to Saturday.
- During work hours there will be construction noise and vibrations. We will monitor these to make sure they stay within permitted noise limits.
- You can access commercial and residential properties and businesses can stay open.
- You can still use the footpaths and we will signpost any closures and diversions.
