Notice of Works - Waterway Maintenance
The Mount Barker District Council is committed to maintaining and improving infrastructure and maintaining healthy waterways throughout the district. As part of Council's ongoing maintenance program, rejuvenation works will soon commence on the existing bio filters located near Cotterdale Avenue and Amblemead Drive.
These works are designed to restore the effectiveness of the bio filters, improve stormwater treatment performance, and help protect surrounding infrastructure and produce positive environmental outcomes.
What will the works involve?
- Pre-environmental inspection will be conducted
- Removal of accumulated sediment / silt and pollutants from the bio filters
- Installation of new filtration fabric
- Placement of new filter media
- Inspection and repair of damaged PVC drainage pipes, where required
- Replanting of bio filter vegetation
- Reinstatement and clean-up of the work area upon completion
When and for how long?
Works are scheduled to commence on Monday, 16 November 2026 and are expected to be completed by Friday, 4 December 2026, weather and site conditions permitting.
Working hours will generally be:
7:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday to Friday
What to Expect?
To ensure the safety of workers and road users, temporary traffic management measures will be in place during the works. Traffic impacts are expected to be minor and will primarily be associated with trucks entering and exiting the reserve.
During the construction period, residents may experience:
- Minor traffic delays
- Increased truck movements in the area
- Earthmoving and construction equipment operating nearby
- Temporary construction and machinery noise
