- Revitalising Liberty Avenue Reserve
We are starting construction works to revitalise the existing floodway and upgrade shared paths at Liberty Avenue Reserve, Rowville.
This project is designed to support the environment, enhance stormwater management, and improve access and safety for pedestrians and cyclists.
A dry creek bed will be constructed in the floor of the existing floodway and act as a natural filter to improve water quality in the area. It will also provide valuable habitat for fauna and flora.
The dry creek bed will adapt to varying rainfall levels. During heavy rainfall, the dry creek bed will become a stream. On dry days, the dry creek bed will remain dry.
Works also include raised shared path crossings over the floodway and the reconstruction of sections of footpath to reduce frequent flooding.
During construction, sections of the site, including the shared path will be temporarily closed. Works will be planned to minimise disruption to visitors at the reserve. Shared path detour signs will be installed to inform alternate routes.
Construction is expected to be complete March/April 2026, weather permitting.
