Council proposes to allocate $687,000 over the next two years to rectify drainage issues in Elizabeth St, Baird St, Jubilee St and Taylor St.
The proposed works to rectify drainage issues in Elizabeth St and Baird St in West Dubbo and Jubilee St and Taylor St in South Dubbo will involve installing new pipe systems to reduce the flooding impact from heavy rainfall on these locations.
At all of these locations, stormwater leaves the road reserve and floods into private property during heavy storms.
