Drainage Infrastructure Improvements, Stadium Road, Tom Price
Stadium Road in Tom Price is one of the main roads in the commercial and retail area in the town centre. It also provides access to nearby playing fields, public swimming pool and accommodation facilities. Stadium Road also is periodically closed for particular festivals and events.
Stadium Road is currently a nominally 7.5m wide (although width varies) asphalted road with kerbing to some areas, and gravel shoulders. A combination of informal and formal on-street parking areas is present. Drainage to the road is via a variety of drainage pit pits, informal drain and open channels. Stadium Road has a problematic history with drainage, particularly impacting some of the commercial sites and also issues with on street parking and intersection layouts.
The drainage project looks to deliver on some key strategic outcomes;
- Improve and manage the surface water runoff into the existing drainage infrastructure and prevent surface runoff into existing properties. For example installing and upgrading drains and catchpits to suit new kerb and channel network.
- Improve the geometric layout of intersections at Stadium Road/ Jacaranda Drive and the entry of Windawarri Lodge with Stadium Road.
- Traffic, pedestrian and parking functionality improvements to meet community and Australian standards.
- Street lighting improvements and upgrades to meet Australian standards and provide the community a higher standard in road and pedestrian safety.
The project is being designed by professional civil consulting engineers, will use community feedback in the design process and engage the services of local and regional contractors.
Members of the public are invited to provide feedback relating to the development and design in relation to this project. Feedback can be submitted to by emailing [email protected]
Submissions close at 4pm on Friday 17 February 2017.
