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 involved 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.
