What we're doing

Before we start construction work on the new sewer main we have to relocate some underground and overhead services like power, gas, water, sewer and telecommunications assets. This will ensure we have enough room for the new sewer. 

When we're working

Service relocation works will start in November and take approximately 8 months to complete. 

Our standard working hours will be Monday to Friday between 7am and 5pm and Saturday 7am to 5pm, weather permitting.  

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 when our works begins:

• Temporary loss of parking
• Traffic detours
• Machinery on site
• More trucks on the streets around you
• Noise from machinery, saw cutting and jack hammering

Our team will be around during working hours to make sure people, bikes and cars can move around safely. 

Don't miss these details

We’re working with our delivery partner, Beca, Fulton Hogan & Interflow (BFHI) to help us.

BFHI will have a temporary compound and storage area located at Tope Street Street, South Melbourne. 

There are no planned disruptions to your water or sewerage services during these works. 

When we’ve finished the job, we’ll leave things how we found them and make sure we return any areas we’ve impacted as close as possible to their original condition.
