Project Summary
This project involves upgrading the stormwater network and landscape renewal works, including the National Rose Gardens.
The scope of works for the National Rose Gardens includes rebuilding of all garden beds and replanting with new roses.
The National Rose Gardens will be revitalised, in accordance with the relevant Heritage Management Plan.
Project Background
The storm water network in the area is about 60 years old. Over the years, sections of the pipeline have deteriorated, and is exhibiting cracks, breaks, and deformations. There is also significant tree roots intrusion into the pipelines, which cause recurring blockages of the pipelines.
While working in the area, the NCA will also take the opportunity to revitalise the landscape, including revitalisation of the National Rose Gardens.
The work to the National Rose Gardens will involve the reconstruction of all garden beds, turf replacement, installation of improved paths for access, installation of irrigation where necessary, and the replanting of the garden beds with new roses.
