Sewer works in your area starting January 2023

 

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.

With some upcoming works in Titcher Road, Ebden Street, Oakwood Avenue, Corrigan Road, Kelvinside Road, Callander Road, Barnett Grove, Dunblane Road and Carpenter Street 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.

If works progress well, we may start and finish some stages earlier than anticipated. We'll keep you updated on our progress. See map below.

When it's happening

Phase 1, Ebden Street in Noble Park North is complete. All areas impacted by the works in this area have been reinstated. However, we continue to use Oakwood Avenue Reserve as a storage area for equipment and materials until we finish the project. 

Phase 2, Callander Road construction is nearing completion. Works on Barnett Grove, Carpenter Street and Ellendale Road are complete. You may still see us around as we complete reinstatement works and construction on Dunblane Road and Callander Road.

Phase 3, Kelvinside Road construction is nearing completion. You may still see us around as we complete reinstatement and commissioning works.

We've encountered delays and project completion is now anticipated in mid 2024. We'll provide more information and an accurate completion date when approval is received for the final stage of works on Kelvinside Road near Heatherton Road. We'll continue working on Callander Road and reinstating any areas we've impacted. If approval is not received, we'll leave and make the area safe before returning to complete the final stage.

We appreciate your patience as we undertake these essential works. You can expect us to work Monday to Friday between 7 am and 5 pm and on Saturday between 8 am and 3.30 pm. On the odd occasion, we might 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:

  • Change in normal traffic flow and lane and road closures on Titcher Road, Ebden Street and Oakwood Avenue, Noble Park North and Corrigan Road, Kelvinside Road, Callander Road, Barnett Grove, Ellendale Road, Dunblane Road and Carpenter Street, Noble Park (please refer to map below).
  • Driveway access will be impacted at some locations along the alignment. We’ll notify affected properties in advance.
  • A temporary site office and storage area on Craven Street, Noble Park and on Oakwood Avenue Reserve, Noble Park North.
  • Reduced speed limits will be in place.
  • More trucks on the streets around you.
  • Fewer car parks on some streets.
  • Noise from machinery and drilling rigs, like beepers when trucks reverse.
  • Our traffic management team will be around to make sure people, bikes and cars can move around safely.

We’re working with ZJW to help us.

During the works ZJW will have a site compound on Craven Street, Noble Park and Oakwood Avenue Reserve, Noble Park North. These locations have been approved by council and will be secure and adhere to strict safety requirements.

Vehicle access to some properties will be impacted. ZJW will be in contact with affected residents and business owners to provide further information prior to works commencing.

You shouldn’t notice any change to your water or sewer services while we work. 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.
