Kanahooka Road drainage improvements

A flap gate has been installed on a pipe below Kanahooka Road, south of the roundabout in 2021. Minor drainage works were also undertaken to reduce flooding of nearby dwellings.

Channel lining works are also being proposed on the northern side of the roundabout to reduce channel blockages and assist with maintenance. This work is expected to begin in the financial year of 2023/2024.

Fowlers Road to Fairwater Drive

Karrara Bridge at Fowlers Road opened to motorists, pedestrians and cyclists on 28 April 2020. It provides new flood-reliable access between Dapto and West Dapto and eases congestion through Dapto Town Centre by reducing traffic on Bong Bong Road.

Voluntary Purchase

We have bought many high flood risk properties in this catchment since the early 1990s. Most of these properties have been in Burringbar Street.
