Berridale Village Master Plan: Stage 1 construction and Stage 3 design

Published on 24 October 2025

Council is breaking ground before Christmas on the first stage of Berridale Village Master Plan, with the design process concurrently underway for the future third stage of the ambitious project to transform Berridale.

The multi-year Berridale Village Master Plan project has seen Council’s projects team and the community Project Engagement Group working closely together to develop a positive and achievable vision for the future of the village, thanks to a grant awarded under the NSW Government’s Stronger Country Communities Fund.

Stage 1 – Design

The contractor is delivering integrated designs for the realignment of the creek through four new culvert crossings at Park Street, Myack Street, Bolton Street and Oliver Street to improve drainage and boost the town’s resilience against future flooding.

Stage 2 – Construction works

Work on the project will get underway before Christmas 2025.  The first phase of works will be the construction of new culverts at Park Street and Myack Street, and the realignment of the creek between the two crossings.

All work is scheduled for completion in early 2026. Work hours will be from 7.30am to 5pm on weekdays, and from 8am to 1pm on Saturdays (as required). No work will be performed on Sundays or public holidays.

Once complete, the creek realignment and culvert installations will provide Berridale with greater protection against serious flooding while preserving the appearance and functionality of a natural waterway. The project outcomes will also reduce the cost and frequency of ongoing creek maintenance.

Council looks forward to unveiling this major upgrade for one of our region’s most iconic towns in early 2026. We thank the community for their understanding and cooperation while work is underway over the next several months.
