Project Completion

28 October 2026

The Somerton Park stormwater project was completed in July 2026, with Stage 2 works at Harrow Road now finalised.

The stormwater upgrades will reduce flooding and provide capacity for major storm events in Somerton Park.

We’ve installed a 1.2-metre-diameter stormwater pipe under Whyte Street and a large box culvert under Tarlton Street, Somerton Park, which carries stormwater to a new gross pollutant trap near the Esplanade.

Rock protection has been installed around the new headwall connecting the pipe and gross pollutant trap to the stormwater outlet.

Twin gross pollutant traps have also been installed on Harrow Road, Somerton Park, to collect pollutants in the pipes before they enter the ocean.

We thank you for your patience.
