Normanton Reserve Sinkhole
UPDATE: The fencing is now in place at Normanton Reserve. The path between Normanton St and Ashfield Rd is still open.
Unfortunately a large portion of the southern open area of Normanton Reserve will be fenced off soon due to a collapsed stormwater pipe deep underground.
There has been a small tomo for some time next to one of the pieces of fitness equipment, that has also affected the concrete path. Council's Healthy Waters dept have investigated and found that the situation is significant. Until a solution is confirmed, the area needs to be fenced off for as a precautionary safety measure.
Several years ago, there was a plan to replace the pipe with a daylit stream due to issues with the pipe, but Healthy Waters put the plan on the backburner due to other priorities. It seems that now something similar may need to be done with some urgency...
From Healthy Waters:
"Healthy Waters have identified a significant problem with the public stormwater pipe under Normanton Reserve which resulted in a tomo and depression adjacent to the footpath and stormwater manhole. While a solution is being investigated with a high priority, we have requested Parks & Community Facilities to partially close the Reserve off, in order to keep the general public safe."
