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, Greater Dandenong and Monash Local Government Areas. For information about the entire scheme visit Dingley Recycled Water Scheme.

The 13km West Connection Network extends from our Transfer Main in Old Dandenong Road to Black Rock and Beaumaris. The project has been awarded to our Industry Partner ABK (Abergeldie, BMD & KBR). 

We'll be working in works stages of around 100-200m to minimise long term impacts to residents and the community. We expect to spend about 1-2 weeks in each works stage, depending on the weather. We're working with Bayside City Council and the City of Kingston to minimise impacts to the community as best we can.

You might also see us working in other areas of the pipeline. Please take care when travelling around our construction sites. See a map of the entire project alignment on the project homepage.

We'll letter drop affected residents and businesses before we start works in each area.

When we’ve finished, we’ll return any areas we’ve impacted as close as possible to their original condition.

When it's happening

We started works in late July along Cheltenham Road, see our progress on the map above. We're now working during the day in Oak Avenue, Voltri Street and Grange Road. We're working at night from Sunday to Thursday between 7pm and 5am on:

We haven't scheduled a date, however we'll be back in a few weeks to reinstate the road at night on:

• Warrigal Road, Oak Avenue (from Haughton Street) and Voltri Street (to Riviera Street)

We'll letter drop affected residents and businesses with more information before works start in each area.

Working hours are Monday to Friday between 7am and 6pm. Occasionally, we may have to work at other times. This will include:

One night in early 2026 between 6.30pm and 5am, pending weather, permits and other authority works on:

Later in the project, we also expect night works at:

• Centre Dandenong Road

We'll notify residents and businesses when we schedule these works.

We might also have to work on Saturdays, between 7am and 5pm, depending on our progress.

If we do need to work on Saturdays, we'll let the area know via SMS and email. Check your contact details are up to date on your mySouthEastWater account.

We expect recycled water to flow to all sites before 2028.
