Woodstock Sewerage Project

We’re building a new sewage pump station at 1305 Donnybrook Road and pipelines along Donnybrook Road, Woodstock. This supports the Woodstock Precinct Structure Plan and more than 7,500 planned residential homes.

What's involved

This project includes:

  • Constructing a new sewage pump station. This includes a below-ground wet well, 5-meter diameter and 14 meters deep, and an emergency storage well, 5-meter diameter, 12.5 meters deep
  • Constructing 5 pipelines along the northern side of Donnybrook Road, and contingency for a gas main. These pipelines include a sewer rising main, approximately 1,220 meters in length, and additional pipe connections to:
    • The Darebin branch sewer, approximately 450 meters long.
    • The Woodstock branch sewer, approximately 20 meters long.
    • A non-drinking/recycled water main approximately 120 meters long.
    • A drinking water main, approximately 370 meters long.

These pipelines will be constructed within an open cut trench. They will connect to existing pipes or connection points inthe Atticus and Peppercorn Hill estates.

What to expect

Both the pump station and pipelines will be built by MFJ Constructions – and will be constructed at the same time.

Work started in February 2022 and we expect them to be complete by July 2023.

Normal working hours will be 7.30 am to 5.30 pm Monday to Friday and 7.30 am to 1 pm on Saturday.

We work to the latest State Government advice and have COVIDSafe plans in place. Our staff and project partners follow safe work practices in line with public health directions.
