Drainage Update - Matai Place & Park Avenue, Oxford

We're improving drainage at Matai Place.

Drainage infrastructure at Matai Place is undersized and reaching its end-of-life. The Council is upgrading this infrastructure to minimise the flooding that frequently occurs. This work has been awarded to Stewart Civil Ltd, who plan to begin physical works in the new year.

The work will include
Construction of new soakage devices and additional stormwater pipework along Matai Place, Ericksons Lane and Park Avenue.

Timing of work
Construction will commence in mid-January 2025 and is expected to last six weeks.

How the work may affect you
Vehicle access to properties within the construction area may be restricted at times. pedestrian accesses through Ericksons Lane will also be restricted.

Traffic impacts
The footpath through Ericksons Lane, and the road shoulder on Park Avenue between Ericksons Lane and Flannigans Drain, will be closed during some stages of construction.

General impacts

Noise and dirt
Road work is a noisy, dirty business - but please bear with us. We will be doing all we cant o minimise the impact on your home/business. Your cooperation and patience will help us get the job done as quickly as possible. All work will be carried out between the stated hours and over week days only to help minimise the impact on the community.

East Does it
Bitumen, concrete and other road repair materials require a bit of care after they are applied. Please treat all new surfaces with extra care following the completion of this project.
