Fully funded by the Federal Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program, the six-stage project converted the town's open drain system to an underground drainage infrastructure network, thus removing deep spoon drains that are conducive to disease-carrying mosquitos during the warmer months of the year
The first four stages of the project involved upgrading the stormwater network along Browning and Gonn avenues, as well as the Murrabit Market site. These works also included the installation of a pump station at the corner of Browning Avenue and Church Street that enables water to be pumped and discharged into Reedy Creek, as well as the construction of a nearby detention basin to provide storage capacity during large rainfall events.
Stages 5 and 6 involved completing similar improvements along Church, Laursen and Whiter streets, as well as the planting of trees along areas where stormwater works have occurred to beautify the township.
