Construction Work Notification
Young Trunk Drainage Upgrade – Lynch and Marina Streets, Young
Hilltops Council, with funding support from the Commonwealth Government under the National Flood Mitigation Infrastructure Program and the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy and Water, is delivering a stormwater trunk drainage upgrade for Young.
At its Ordinary Meeting in May, Council resolved to award the construction contract to the successful tenderer, Delaney Civil.
The objective of the upgrade is to improve the drainage system within the town centre of Young and to assist in preventing flooding during large storm events. The work includes the construction of a drainage channel within the railway corridor and the installation of two large-diameter pipes within the middle of the road along Lynch and Marina Streets, where the stormwater will then discharge into Burrangong Creek. Please refer to the image below which details the extent of works:
Construction works are scheduled to commence in July 2025 and are expected to take up to eight months to complete.
To ensure the upgrade is completed in a safe and effective manner, road closures along Lynch and Marina Streets will be implemented throughout the construction period. Signage will be installed to detour motorists around the work site; however, please avoid the area where possible and use alternative routes and parking locations.
Pedestrian access to businesses will be maintained and affected residents and businesses will be notified of expected disruptions.
We appreciate your cooperation and patience during these works and assure you of Council’s commitment to providing improved services within the local area. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Hilltops Council during office hours on 1300 445 586.
