Drummond Road Drainage Upgrade Works
The necessary upgrade of drainage infrastructure at Drummond Road, Shepparton was identified through Council's 2020 Drainage Strategy, which focused on identifying and addressing historic and nuisance stormwater issues that affect the community.
This strategy assisted with creating a plan to prevent future flooding issues at the key intersection of New Dookie Road and Drummond Road.
The Drummond Road drainage upgrade will involve installing new drainage pipes, stormwater pits, concrete kerbing, and resurfacing sections of the road.
The contract for these works was awarded at the Ordinary Council Meeting in August 2024 to Mawson Constructions Pty Ltd, with works anticipated to be completed by late January 2025, weather permitting.
- Completed works - December 2024
Construction of the new drainage system in Drummond Road from Joseph Baldwin Place is complete, with asphalting of the works undertaken to date.
Unfortunately, construction near the intersection of Drummond Road and New Dookie Road has been delayed due to recent storm events, unforeseen underground services and redesign required to avoid service infrastructure.
Because of this, works at the site have concluded for the year and are scheduled to recommence at the Drummond Road and New Dookie Road intersection, and along New Dookie Road, from Monday 6 January 2025.
- Remaining works – January 2025
From Monday 6 January 2025, Drummond Road northbound from Joseph Baldwin Place, will be closed for approximately two weeks while the remaining works in Drummond Road and along New Dookie Road are completed.
The works will be undertaken between the hours of 7am and 8pm, Monday to Friday, weather permitting.
The New Dookie Road and Drummond Road intersection will be managed by traffic controllers as required, with delays to be expected.
Please note, access to businesses in the area will be maintained throughout the works and their operations will continue as usual.
The works are expected to be completed by the end of January 2025, weather permitting.
