Charles Court Reserve - Stormwater Maintenance Chamber Installation

Project Overview

The City of Nedlands is progressing with a civil maintenance project to install a stormwater chamber over an existing pipeline in Charles Court Reserve in aid of improving the City’s stormwater maintenance program and alleviating flooding issues within the area.

To ensure public safety, the City will utilise temporary fencing to control public access to the site for the duration of the works.
