Popes Drain - lining renewal

What

We will be renewing the Council timber lined drain, creating some naturalised streamside planting and planting trees.

Why

The existing timber drain is past the end of its usable life. The renewal will provide bank stabilisation and maintain reliable land drainage through this area. Bank planting will improve the streamside ecosystem prior to entering the Heathcote River.

Where

287 - 297 Centaurus Road, Cashmere

When

23 July to late October 2025. Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm (weather/site condition dependent).

Contact

The contractor is City Care. Phone Mikaela Abraas on 022 017 3972, Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm.

Details

  • All the works are to be undertaken off street but will include entry - egress across the footpath and onto Centaurus Road.
  • Traffic management will be in place on the approaches to the works. The footpath outside the property may be closed for short periods during the works. When this occurs signage and crew members will assist pedestrians with direction to alternative routes.
  • Localised noise will increase at times but will be minimised where possible.
