Where we will be working

What we're doing

The scheme will involve 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.

The Transfer Main and the West Connection Network has been awarded to our Industry Partner ABK (Abergeldie, BMD & KBR). Construction has commenced on both of these sections of the scheme.

As a part of cultural heritage works for the Transfer Main in 2024, we dug over 30 pits along our alignment. Our Cultural Heritage Management Plan (CHMP) has now been approved and we've started construction in Pillars Road, Bangholme. We expect to start in Braeside Park on the Pump Station from February 2026, and the pipeline from early/mid 2026.

When it's happening

We'll start 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're now installing the pipelne in Pillars Road and Waterways, we'll then install in Braeside Park. We'll keep this page updated once we know when we'll be constructing the pipeline in Braeside Park.

Working hours will be Monday to Friday between 7am and 6pm. 

What might impact you

We’ll do our best to keep impacts to a minimum, however these are the kinds of things you might notice while we work:

  • Lane closures and reduced speed limits on Lower-Dandenong Road at the entry/exit point to the pump station site
  • Increase in heavy vehicle movements to and from the site, via Lower-Dandenong RoadSome noise from construction activities and machinery, such as reversing beepers on vehicles
  • Some dust during construction, which we will monitor to help keep this to a minimum
  • Traffic management will be available to guide road users, pedestrians and cyclists safely around the works area 

There will be no changes or disruptions to the 811 bus service or bus stops during our works.

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. 

Important information

Parking and access

You'll have access to the park during construction, however when we're working nearby you may notice:

  • Reduced car parks, paricularly in the small 24 hour car park off Governor Road.
  • Pedestrian and traffic detours along the alignment in the park.
  • We might have to block off some areas and stop traffic to allow for deliveries, machinery and some work zones. Please adhere to signage on site.

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.

Bike and Footpaths

Works will impact the Sets Trak. If we're working on the Sets Trak and have to close a section, you'll see signage pointing to the detour. The detour will be via Wetlands Circuit Trail. We'll keep this webpage updated when we know construction dates.

Please allow an extra 5 minutes to walk the longer trail and view up to date informations and warnings here

Special events

We're working with Parks Victoria to minimise impacts during the project. Before special events, we'll pack up our site as best we can and make the area safe.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

These works will ensure the transfer main design is optimised to best suit the needs and requirements of the end users. 

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.
