Eley Road sewer project

We’re planning to construct a new sewer pipeline in Eley Road and Holland Gully Reserve to improve the reliability of our sewerage network in Blackburn South. 

In August 2024, we awarded the construction contract to MFJ Constructions. 

Before starting work they need to complete ground investigations and locate existing services. These investigations are planned for October to December 2024, weather permitting. Construction of the new sewer is expected to start in 2025.

Early investigations - 2022 to 2023

As part of our plannng for a new sewer pipeline in Blackburn South, we completed a range of investigations from late 2022 to mid-2023.  These investigations included service proving, topographical, geotechnical and ecological assessments and the findings were used to inform the detailed design for our proposed new sewer.

We distributed project notices to residents who live near the investigation sites and we'll continue to share more information as this project progresses.
