Rankin Street sewerage project

We’re building 2 new sewer mains and upgrading the Mandalay sewer pump station to improve the sewer network in Beveridge. We've almost completed constructing both sewer mains.

We started work in March 2023 and expect to take about 18 months to complete this project, subject to permits and approvals, ground conditions and weather. 

This work is being completed by our project partner, MFJ Constructions.

These new sewer mains will be:

  • From Lewis Street to the Mandalay sewer pump station, behind properties along Mandalay Circuit and Palladium Circle. This 1,500 m long pipeline will be micro-tunnelled with shafts every 100 m.
  • From Patterson Road to the Lockerbie Main Sewer, east of the Melbourne/Sydney rail line along Rankin Street Beveridge. This pipeline, approximately 3,300 m long, will be installed using a combination of open cut trenching and horizontal directional drilling.

What to expect

  • Normal working hours will be Monday to Friday, 7:30 am to 5:30 pm. If required, there may be low impact works on Saturday, from 7:30 am to 1:30 pm.
  • The new sewer pipeline from Lewis Street to the Mandalay sewer pump station will be constructed using trenchless technology. This will greatly reduce the extent of deep excavations, minimising noise and vibration.
  • Some trees and vegetation will need to be removed, subject to Council approval.
  • Our work will be noisy, but we’ll do our best to keep this to a minimum.
  • We don’t expect any interruption to your services during these works.
