The most up-to-date information on each project is as follows:
Omaha Drive and Boat Ramp
The purpose of this project is to address flooding of Omaha Drive and numerous private properties in the vicinity of the boat ramp, as well as erosion of the beach around the ramp.
We intend for our design consultants to begin the engineering design process for this project in March 2018. The proposed three month construction period for this project will begin near the end of 2018 and finish before the start of the peak summer period. Closer to the time, if we believe construction will not be able to be finished in time to avoid the summer peak, we will delay the construction start date to accommodate this.
The consultants will consider two design options. The preferred one would involve construction occuring only in public property, with the proposed new infrastructure beginning approximately outside 245 Omaha Drive, moving down the public roadway to the boat ramp carpark, then through the carpark and out to the coast.
Darroch Slope
The purpose of this project is to address flooding issues resulting in ponding in small local reserves, as well as private property flooding in Darroch Slope, Jane Gifford Place, and Southern Isle.
Our consultants will begin engineering design for this project in March 2018.
Day Dawn Crescent/Thistle Terrace
This project is intended to address overland flow path flooding and standing water in these streets caused by poor soakage in the reserve at the southern end of Day Dawn Crescent.
Please note that some of this work will occur on private property and we'll be seeking landowner approvals for this.
Our consultants will begin engineering design for this project in March 2018.
Parry Court/Lagoon Way
This project is aimed at reducing surface flooding on Parry Court and Lagoon Way, and implement an overland flow path solution draining into the dunes.
Our consultants will begin engineering design for this project in March 2018.
Assorted Works
These assorted works will address issues causing flood hotspots in the vicinity of The Esplanade Reserve and roadway median strips throughout Omaha.
This work will be done in conjunction with the above priority projects.
