Anula prepares for major stormwater infrastructure renewal

Darwin City Council's planned replacement of Driffield Street's aging stormwater pipes will upgrade drainage capacity in the growing suburb.

By The Daily Darwin · Published 26 June 2026 at 10:22 am

Anula residents can expect stormwater replacement works to commence on Driffield Street from 2 July 2026, according to plans published on darwin.nt.gov.au. The project involves replacing existing stormwater pipes and is estimated to be completed later in 2026, addressing aging infrastructure in the suburb.

The works represent part of the City of Darwin's ongoing effort to renew critical utilities across residential areas. Driffield Street residents and businesses should anticipate traffic and access changes during the construction period, with the mapped work area visible on the council website for residents planning around the project timeline.

Stormwater infrastructure renewal is essential for Darwin's tropical climate, where intense wet season rainfall regularly tests drainage systems. The timing of this project during the dry season allows council to complete the works before the next monsoon season places demand on drainage networks.
