Love branch sewer project
The new sewer pipeline will run alongside the Hume Freeway opposite the Aurora housing estate to Craigieburn Road East in Wollert.
The improvements to the sewerage system will make sure it’s reliable into the future as the area is developed and more people move in.
We expect to be on site and start works in March 2024.
Excavation and construction works are expected to take around 12 months to complete, subject to ground conditions and weather.
This work is being completed by our project partner, MFJ Construction.
What we'll be doing
- Constructing a new 2km sewer pipe along the Hume Freeway opposite the Aurora housing development up to Craigieburn Road East in Wollert.
- Excavating a deep underground shaft where we’ll install the sewer pipeline.
- Installing maintenance holes along the pipeline near the Hume Freeway.
- Some sections of the sewer main excavation will be open cut and may require rock breaking. This is noisy and dusty, and you may feel vibrations. We will limit this activity where possible.
What to expect during the works
- Normal working hours will be 7 am to 5 pm Monday to Friday, and 7 am to 3 pm on Saturdays.
- Your water and/or sewerage services will not be affected.
- A temporary path along the Hume Freeway will be available to use.
- Trees will need to be removed as part of these works.
- The works will be noisy.
- There’ll be extra vehicles and machinery in the area
