SEWER PUMP STATION SWITCHBOARD UPGRADE - INGLEWOOD

Council would like to advise that sewer pump station (SPS) switchboard upgrade works are scheduled to be undertaken in the road reserve at multiple locations across Inglewood including:

2 Cheshire St, Inglewood;
9 Great Road St, Inglewood;
59 Regent Lane, Inglewood;
32 Albert Street, Inglewood; and
20 Princess Street, Inglewood.

The works are part of funded works to increase flood resilience and vary from the lifting to the complete relocation of sewer pump station switchboards above flood height, ensuring that essential services can be reinstated as quickly as possible following a flood event.

The works are scheduled to commence the week starting 29 January 2024 and is expected to take approximately 16 weeks to complete all locations, subject to preceding works and weather conditions.

During this period, there may be some disruptions to traffic and on-street parking. Our Contractors will endeavour to program works to minimise these disruptions where practical. Please follow any directions or instructions given to you by Contractors or Council staff while works are underway.

DELACEY STREET WATER MAIN WORKS - GOONDIWINDI

Council wishes to advise that water main construction works along Delacy Street, Goondiwindi are scheduled to commence Wednesday, 7 February 2024. Contractors working on behalf of Council, will be undertaking these works for a period of approximately 3– 5 weeks, subject to weather conditions. In order to facilitate these works, the parking lane on the western side of Delacy Street may be closed from Bowen Street to MacIntyre Street. The Contractor will be performing a letterbox drop to the affected residents of Goondiwindi notifying them of these works. Council is aware of the impact that these works may have and will endeavour to minimise disruptions.

UPDATE 11/4/24 - TEMPORARY INTERRUPTIONS TO WATER SUPPLY: As part of this upgrade, Council would like to advise that between 9am & 3pm on Wednesday 17 April 2024, there will be an interruption to water supply as the Council Contractors connect the new water supply main to the existing network. These works will include areas from Bowen Street to MacIntyre Street and affected residents will be notified.

MANN STREET STORMWATER PUMPING STATION - GOONDIWINDI

Council will commence works in early 2024, along Mann Street and the Corcoran Creek frontage to upgrade the current stormwater system for the Botanical Views Estate by installing a new stormwater pump station. The pump station will pump stormwater from the estate into Corcoran Creek during flood events when the drainage outlets are closed.

Starting in early 2024, Contractors will commence underground stormwater upgrade works on the eastern side of Mann Street between the laneway to the Botanic Gardens and 18 Mann Street. Works will be confined to the road surface in Mann St and will not impact the footpath or private driveways. The works will also include the construction of a new pump station within the Council controlled reserve on Corcoran Creek. The pump station will be located behind 16 Mann Street and will be similar in design and appearance to the existing pump stations along the Macintyre River levee bank.

While these works will bring about positive changes and increased flood immunity for the estate, we understand that it may cause temporary inconveniences including increased noise, restricted access and altered traffic flow. We aim to do our utmost to minimise disruptions and complete the works efficiently.

For your safety and convenience, Contractors will display clear signage, implement necessary traffic diversions, and maintain constant communication throughout the duration of the project duration. We request that you please follow any directions or instructions given to you by Council staff or Contractors while works are underway.

Council would like to thank you in advance for your cooperation and patience during this period.
