Governor Rd 24-hour carpark and Red Gum Picnic Area Closure. We're working within the 24-hour Governor Rd carpark from approximately 6th April 2026 – 24th April 2026.
The 24-hour carpark off Governor Road will be closed for the month of April 2026. Access to the Red Gum Picnic Area via car will not be possible.
Park visitors can still walk or ride a pushbike to the Red Gum area during this time via the pedestrian track adjacent to the 24-hour carpark. Parking outside of the park along the road verge or alongside the pedestrian trail is not permitted.
For parking inside Braeside Park, please use the Lower Dandenong Rd entrance and utilise the carparks around the Federation and Telford Picnic areas.

SETs Track and Cypress Drive closures. We're working within Braeside Park from 13th March 2026 until the end of July 2026.
Park visitors will still have access to the park during this time. Works will impact SETs track and a small section of Cypress drive; these tracks will be closed for the 4-month construction period. For the safety of the community, temporary pedestrian detours will be in place – please follow the signs and allow an extra 5-10 minutes to walk the longer trail around the north-eastern side of the wetlands.

The Dingley Recycled Water Scheme involves the design and construction of a transfer main and 3 connection networks to bring recycled water from near the Eastern Treatment Plant to service around 40 commercial sites in the Bayside, Kingston and Monash Local Government Areas. For information about the entire scheme visit Dingley Recycled Water Scheme.
Works in Braeside Park are a part of the Transfer Main which has been awarded to our industry partner Abergeldie, BMD, KBR Joint Venture (ABK).
When it's happening
We started construction in Braeside Park on the pump station, near Lower Dandenong Road and the Mordialloc Freeway, from mid February 2026 for around 12 months.
We expect to be installing the pipeline in Braeside Park , starting from the Govenor Road end and working north, from 13 March until the end of July. Working hours will be Monday to Friday between 7am and 6pm.
What might impact you
Govenor Rd 24-hour carpark closure in April (see map below)
SETs Track and Cypress Drive closures from 13 March to end of July (see map below)
Lane closures, reduced speed limits and more heavy vehicles
Some noise from construction activities and machinery
Some dust during construction, which we will monitor to help keep this to a minimum
Don't miss these details
ABK will be using their Program Office on Tootal Road, Dingley Village for material drop off and pick up during works.
You will still have access to Braeside Park, buses, roads and properties.
You shouldn’t notice any change to your water or sewer services while we work.
For the safety of the community, there will be a temporary pedestrian detour at times when we have peak truck movements entering our site.
Pedestrians will be required to cross at the lights at Howard Road, then back at the lights next to the Mordialloc Freeway when directed by traffic control or signage is on display.

The Dingley Recycled Water Scheme will deliver recycled water to around 40 sites in the Bayside, Kingston, Greater Dandenong and Monash Local Government Areas.
Supplying recycled water to local parks, world-class golf courses, sporting ovals, laundromats, market gardens and nurseries, the scheme will help preserve our drinking water supply, and help our communities become more resilient to climate change.
Visit the project homepage for Frequently Asked Questions about the scheme.
Investigative works will include:
- Service proving to identify and locate all underground services that may interact with the pipeline alignment
- Engineering feature survey
- Geotechnical and contamination investigations
- Ecology surveys and environmental site mapping
Abergeldie, BMD and KBR (ABK) will complete these works on behalf of South East Water.
We send digital communications to customers with a mobile number or email address registered to their mySouthEastWater account prior to works commencing. To register or check if your details are up to date visit my.southeastwater.com.au.
We then put a letter in your letter box before we commence works. If the works are deferred, we will send you another notification of the new proposed start date. Project signage will be installed at the work area prior to commencing the works.
We will also keep information on this webpage updated throughout the project.
No, we don't plan to impact driveway access. If for any reason during construction we need to block your driveway access, we will notify you in person and where possible, provide at least 24 hours' notice so that alternative parking arrangements can be made.
To safely undertake these works, traffic and pedestrian conditions may change so please take care when travelling around the construction sites.
No. If you experience any disruption to your water or sewerage services please call our 24/7 Faults and Emergencies team on 13 28 12.
When we’ve finished the job, we’ll leave things how we found them and return any areas we’ve impacted as close as possible to their original condition.
Only high usage customers who have agreed to connect to the scheme will need to pay. Discussions with scheme customers on pricing will take place prior to connection.
