The Greenslopes stormwater drainage system is set to get an upgrade. The project encompasses streets around the Greenslopes Private Hospital including Denman Street, Hunter Street and Newdegate Street.
Council is undertaking an upgrade of the Greenslopes stormwater drainage which will involve replacing the existing stormwater pipes that run along the centre of Denman, Hunter and Newdegate Streets. The project will also see the upgrading of the gully that connects the stormwater in Hunter Street as well as providing connections to the existing stormwater pipes and drainage.
Sections of the road will be closed to traffic to make way for the construction which is expected to be completed by mid-April 2023.
Details of the construction works which will be conducted Monday to Friday between 7 am and 5 pm are as follows:
Denman Street, between Henry Street and Newdegate Street
- This first location will have works starting on Monday 17 October and will require a full road closure. Completion of this part of the project is expected to be by end of November (weather permitting).
- Residents will be able to access their property from Henry Street via traffic control during work hours.
Denman Street, between Thomas Street and Newdegate Street
- Works on this section will commence in late October and are expected to be completed by early December (weather permitting).
