Project Summary
Bass Coast Shire Council’s Infrastructure Delivery department will soon commence construction works for Bayview Avenue Drainage Renewal and Flood Mitigation in Inverloch.
About the Project:
- The primary goal of this project is to reduce the risk
of property damage due to flooding by upgrading the existing stormwater
drainage network and implementing new flood control measures. These
improvements are essential to protect homes and properties from potential
flood damage and enhance the resilience of the stormwater catchment area
for properties
- The drainage renewal on Bayview Avenue will upgrade the existing stormwater network with additional stormwater pits and pipes to capture stormwater runoff and divert it to underground stormwater storage units. New underground storage units in Bayview Avenue will provide primary storage for the surface stormwater drainage in the area, while new twin 1800mm diameter concrete pipes in Garden Crescent will provide secondary storage.
This project will be undertaken in 5 stages as set out below:
- Stage 1 Section of Garden Crescent (East) - February 2025 to March 2025
- Stage 2 Section of Pier Road - March 2025 to April 2025
- Stage 3 Section of Bayview Avenue (between Corsair Grove and Pier Road) - April 2025
- Stage 4 Section of Bayview Avenue (between Corsair Grove and Pier Road) - Late April to June 2025
- Stage 5 Section of Bayview Avenue (between Russell Street and Corsair Grove) - June 2025 to July 2025
Thank you for your patience during the construction period. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions prior to or during the project.
- The project scope includes the construction of stormwater pits and the installation of underground stormwater storage units and pipes, significant earthworks, and the installation of Gross Pollutant Trap (GPT). A GPT is a device that filters stormwater to remove litter and other pollutants before they enter waterways. The project will also include the reinstatement of the kerb and channel and road pavement.
This project is funded by Bass Coast Shire Council, Stormwater Renewal Program in the value of $3 million.
- Bayview Avenue, Garden Cresent (East), and Pier Road will be closed in stages for traffic. Road users are advised to use alternate routes. Please refer to the site location plan and proposed traffic management plans. All dates are indicative only and may be subject to change.
- Stage 1 Section of Pier Road – early Feb to early March 2025 and Bayview Avenue (between Corsair Grove and Pier Road) – end of March to mid-May 2025
- Stage 2 Garden Crescent (East) – March and May 2025 and Bayview Avenue (between Corsair Grove and Pier Road) – end of May to mid-June 2025
- Stage 3 Bayview Avenue (between Russell Street and Garden Crescent) – mid June to mid July 2025
- Appropriate traffic and pedestrian control measures will be in place throughout the duration of works, including electronic variable message signs, road closures, reduced speed limits, and road and pedestrian detours. However, access will be restricted during the storage unit installation works at Bayview Avenue and Garden Crescent. Emergency access will always be available during the construction works.
- Some inevitable noise, dust, vibrations, and the use of heavy plant and machinery will occur during the construction period. There will be increased activity in these areas, including the presence of construction vehicles and equipment, deep excavation works, sheet piling, crane operations, pipelaying and pavement works. We will take measures to keep these to a minimum.
