Port Melbourne, Salmon Street Sewer Pump Station Relocation

What we're doing

This project will extend the existing sewer network to facilitate the future relocation of the Salmon Street Pump Station. This will increase the capacity of the sewer network to cater for population growth in the area and future proof the sewerage system. 

This first stage of works will involve the construction of a new sewer from the intersection of Turner Street and Salmon Street along Caprice Avenue, Port Melbourne.

Once this stage of works is complete, we'll be able to construct the new pump station and decommission the old pump station. We'll complete those works in 3 stages and we'll let you know before we start those works. 

When it's happening

Before construction starts, we'll complete investigative works, including service locating, soil testing and groundwater sampling, from early September 2024.

After completing investigative works, we'll start construction from early October 2024 for around 12 months (weather permitting).

We'll be making the site safe before shutting down for the holiday period from 20 December 2024 and we'll be returning to site on 13 January 2025. 

You can expect us to work Monday to Friday between 7 am and 6 pm and Saturdays between 7am and 5pm. For the first 3 months we'll also need to work between 5pm to 11pm Monday to Friday. On the odd occasion, we might need to work at other times for safety, technical or permit reasons.
