Latest updates
August 2025
July site works included trenching and subsequent removal of end-of-life storm water lines and the installation of new storm water lines and drainage structures across multiple locations.
During August 2025 trenching works to support the removal and replacement of storm water pipes will continue, along with the installation of additional site fencing to support landscaping works at the National Rose Gardens.
Temporary lane closures along King George Terrace will also occur later in the month to support the replacement of storm water pipes within the road verge. These will be undertaken in accordance with approved temporary traffic management plans.
Updates will continue to be provided on this page.

Project Summary
This project involves upgrading the storm water 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.
