McEwin Street and Napier Street will soon be reconstructed as the roads are aging and need upgrading. A key issue in this area is stormwater runoff during heavy rain, which can lead to flooding. As part of the project, we will improve the drainage system to better manage water flow. These upgrades will also improve road safety and durability.

We have carefully reviewed the traffic and stormwater data and determined that this plan is the best fit for the area and road conditions. The improvements will enhance essential infrastructure, improve pedestrian safety, and create better path connections. Additionally, new landscaping will make the area more attractive and benefit both the environment and the community.

Key benefits of the proposed solution:

  • Better Walking Paths: Improved crossings and accessibility will make it safer and easier for pedestrians to get around.
  • Safer Streets: The changes will enhance safety for both pedestrians and drivers, particularly during busy times like school drop-offs and pick-ups.
  • Drainage: Minor upgrades to the stormwater drainage system will improve drainage within the intersection
  • New landscaping: New plants and green spaces will enhance the area’s appearance, provide shade, and support local wildlife.
  • Accessibility: New ramps and textured paving will make it easier for people living with a disability, parents with prams, and those with vision impairments to move around safely.
  • Better Traffic Control: The new design will improve traffic flow and help ensure parking rules are followed.
