Flood alleviation work is to start in east Belfast next month.
The work at Clara Park is expected to be completed by February 2016.
The first stage of the work will start with the construction of temporary roadways and pedestrian pathways.
DUP MLA Robin Newton said: "In welcoming this necessary project it is important Rivers Agency recognises the importance of keeping residents up-to-date over the scheme's duration.
"People living in Clara Park and Sandhill Parade have experienced a number of flooding incidents with Clara Park residents and those in adjacent bungalows having been flooded out of their homes. This scheme is designed to address the causes of the flooding and to protect homes.
"The necessary construction work, the noisy sheet piling and the construction of short-term car access and pedestrian walkways is going to cause residents inconvenience. However, this short-term nuisance should be set against the longer term gains and the safety of residents and their homes."
