Old Dandenong Road
Dingley Recycled Water Scheme
EASTBOUND ROAD CLOSURE on Old Dandenong Road between Kingston and Boundary Roads from 11 May until late July.
When it's happening
We're starting construction on Old Dandenong Road between Kingston Road and Boundary Road from 11 May until late July, depending on the weather and ground conditions.
You may have seen us in the area working on other sections of the Dingley Recycled Water Scheme which started in mid 2025. We expect recycled water to be flowing before 2028.
What might impact you
Eastbound closure of Old Dandenong Road between Kingston Road and Boundary Road. Local access will be maintained. Traffic management will be on site.
Pipes will be stored and welded on Ross Street and Old Dandenong Road
No on street parking in the construction area
Increased noise when heavy machinery is being used, including reversing beepers on vehicles
Light towers along Old Dandenong Rd for community safety at night around our worksite
Our team may need to access your gas and water meters within your property to trace where pipes underground to ensure we remain clear of them when installing our pipeline
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 your property. There may be times where your driveway access is temporarily restricted. If this is the case, we will reach out to you directly before works.
You shouldn’t notice any change to your water or sewer services while we work.
Important information for visitors of Old Dandenong Road properties
Please let any visitors to your property know of potential delays and detours during works.
When we're moving heavy machinery, you may have to wait at the road closure until it's safe for our team to direct you though the works area.
If you have regular customers, visitors or large deliveries to your property, please contact us so we can let our traffic management team know.
If you, your customers or visitors have any concerns please don't hesitate to contact the project team on the details below.
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.
