Map area of proposed work:

When is this happening? 

Construction commenced in late-November 2023 and will take approximately 6 months to complete.

How will this impact me?

As with any construction activities, the will be an increase in noise and dust in the area. There will be temporary impacts to roads, verges and pedestrian paths, traffic management will be onsite to safely direct vehicles and pedestrians around the work area.

Construction of the new pipeline will be via open trench and trenchless technology, property access will be maintained during the work. There will be no traffic impacts to Reid Highway during construction.

We understand and appreciate this may cause temporary inconvenience and disruption to the local community, we are committed to working with you to minimise this as much as possible.

Reinstatement following construction

Unfortunately our work will result in unavoidable impacts to roads and verges, although we follow a thorough reinstatement process to ensure all impacted areas are replaced like for like, where practically possible. 

We will work closely with the City of Swan and residents to ensure all reinstatements are carried out to an acceptable standard.
