ABOUT THE PROJECT
Mint Street Wetlands
As part of the Kinston City Council Plan to improve the local drainage network and minimise the impact of severe weather events in the area Entracon has been engaged to construct new large diameter stormwater pipes along Kinross Ave to quickly and efficiently drain stormwater from the roadway onto the grassed area of Edithvale Common. A pumping station will then disperse the water throughout the parkland merging with an existing Melbourne Water Main Drain.

- Installation of a control panel and electricity and communications infrastructure; and
