Fremantle Drainage and Pipes for Fremantle
WHAT IS HAPPENING?
Between May and November 2021, we will continue work to upgrade the drainage network around Phillimore Street in Fremantle. This work is essential in order to increase the storm water capacity in the area and reduce the risk of flooding and damage.
In March 2021, we completed all work involved in renewing the ageing water pipes in Fremantle.
