The impact
There will be impacts to sports clubs at Elwood Park, including the Elwood Croquet Club. Council and Melbourne Water are working with the clubs to minimise these impacts during the project period.
Separate projects will be run to rebuild the croquet pavilion and courts and the sports grounds once the Melbourne Water drain project is complete.
Objectives
Melbourne Water will seek to reduce flooding impacts in the Elster Creek area downstream of Elsternwick Park, by duplicating part of the existing Elwood Main Drain.
