Sewer works in your area November 2025

 

You might not notice a lot of the work we do because most of it is beneath your feet. Every day, we’re maintaining and upgrading the pipes and pumps that keep the sewage network flowing.

We're back in your area to complete Mile Creek Sewer Upgrade Project to support future growth and enhance local water infrastructure. You might see us or our contractor ZJW (Zinfra, Jaydo, WSP, Joint Venture) around. Here’s what to expect while we get the job done.

What we're doing

The project will increase the capacity of the sewer network to cater for population growth in the area and future proof the sewerage system.

This project will be completed in three phases.  

  • Phase 1: Ebden Street Upgrade from early January 2023. These works have now been completed.
  • Phase 2: Callander Road Upgrade from late April 2023.
  • Phase 3: Kelvinside Road Upgrade from May 2023.

We'll keep you updated on our progress. See map below.

When it's happening

In your area, we’ll soon commence the final stages of work to complete the Mile Creek Sewer Upgrade Project to support population growth and future proof the sewerage system. 

We’re planning to start work on Kelvinside Road, between Callander Road and Duncan Court, from Monday 17th November 2025 for approximately 2 weeks (weather permitting). Works will take place over a few days during this period. 

Construction will be Monday to Friday, between 7 am and 5 pm. On occasion, we may need to work at other times for safety, technical or permit reasons.

We will pack up and return the road to normal operation at the end of each shift, so the area will not remain closed outside of work hours.

 

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:

  • Minor delays and lane closures on Kelvinside Road, between Callander Road and Duncan Court, with traffic management to guide road users around the work zone. 
  • Temporary driveway access interruptions. 
  • More trucks on the streets around you.
  • Fewer car parks on some streets.
  • Construction noise from machinery, like beepers when trucks reverse.

Construction staff will be around to make sure people, bikes and cars can move around safely. You'll still have access to footpaths and businesses in the area.
