Boundary Reserve stormwater and wastewater upgrade

About the project

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.

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.
