Works currently placed on hold

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 water flowing. 

Our construction works on Greenhills Road in Pakenham South are currently placed on hold.
We’ll let you know once construction is expected to restart.

What we're doing

This project involves relocating sections of sewer rising main and recycled water main in order to facilitate the installation of a Melbourne Water drain along Greenhills Road.

When it's happening

Our construction works on Greenhills Road in Pakenham South are currently placed on hold. We aim to remobilise for construction in early 2026, with construction expected to be complete in the second half of 2026. We’ll let you know once construction is expected to restart.

You can expect us to work Monday to Friday between 7 am and 5 pm. On the odd occasion, we may need to work at other times for safety, technical or permit reasons.

 

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:

  • More trucks on Greenhills Road and on the local streets around you.
  • Noise from heavy machinery, like beepers when trucks reverse, continuous running engine/motor sounds and removal of the tank.
  • Access to private properties will not be affected.

Please take care when travelling around the work site.
