Jam Jerrup drainage upgrades
Bass Coast Shire Council will carry out drainage renewal works along Foreshore Road in Jam Jerrup in August.
Work is expected to begin in early August and take around four weeks to complete, subject to favourable weather conditions.
This $70,000 project is supported by the Victorian Government through the Distinctive Areas and Landscapes Capital Funding Program 2019/2020.
This project is part of a partnership with Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning and Council. The Department has recently completed seawall protection works at Jam Jerrup.
The aim of this project is to minimise stormwater runoff flowing across the newly constructed seawall embankments and to improve the quality of road stormwater runoff and direct the stormwater flow along Foreshore Road, to discharge at the outfall.
