Trinity Valley Drainage Upgrade - Stage 2 & 3 is complete

Stages 2 and 3 of the four stage project have recently been completed. Stages 1 and 4 will be undertaken during the 2024–2025 financial year.

Stage 2 involved the installation of large concrete culverts, pipes and pits within the roadway, followed by the reconstruction of the road pavement in Albermarle Avenue and Ashbrook Avenue, Trinity Gardens.

Stage 3 involved the installation of large concrete culverts, pipes and pits, followed by the reconstruction of the road pavement on Jones Avenue, Trinity Gardens.

The large culverts within the roadway in Albermarle Avenue and Jones Avenue, will provide underground detention storage and combined with the new stormwater pits and connections, will capture and detain surface water that would otherwise flood residential properties in major storm events.

The Trinity Valley Drainage Upgrade Project received funding from the Federal Government, through a $9.9 million grant from the Preparing Australia Communities Program, which targets projects that improve resilience against natural disasters. The
grant is being matched dollar-for-dollar by the Council.

The next stage of the project, Stage 4 includes new drainage infrastructure in Gage Street and Green Street, St Morris and includes the redevelopment of St Morris Reserve which
will include a stormwater detention basin. Work on Stage 4, is scheduled to commence later this year.

Stage 1, the final stage of the upgrade, includes new drainage in the suburbs of Maylands and Stepney and is scheduled to commence in early 2025.
