Kenwick wastewater pipeline

What’s happening?

To help cater for the growing community, we are planning to construct approximately 2 kilometres of wastewater pipeline in Kenwick, within the City of Gosnells. This work will be completed in two stages.

Stage one will include the construction of 420 metres of wastewater pipeline from the existing pipeline near Kenwick School to Staplehurst Street in Kenwick. This work is planned to begin late-2024 and is expected to take around eight months to complete.

Stage two includes the construction of approximately 1.7 kilometres of wastewater pipeline along Wanaping Road, Park Road, Kenwick Road and Stafford Road in Kenwick. We will provide more information about this stage once we have finished the design.

Where is this happening?

For Stage one, the work area will be behind Kenwick Primary School and along Apperley Street and Staplehurst Street in Kenwick. Please refer to map below.

Stage two will take place along Wanaping Road, Park Road, Kenwick Road and Stafford Road in Kenwick. A map will be provided at a later date.

How will this impact the community?

Construction impacts

To minimise the impact to the environment and the community, the pipeline will be installed using trenchless technology during Stage one. This construction method means that noise and land impacts will be reduced during the pipe installation.

This technology will require five pipe entry/exit points, noted in the map below. During the construction of these access points, there may be some noise, dust, and minor vibrations. This will be kept to a minimum and we are committed to working with residents to minimise these impacts.

Traffic management

Traffic management and detours may be required. We will provide updates on these impacts in advance.

Property access

Access to some properties may be restricted during construction. If access is obstructed, we will get in touch to arrange alternative access.

Kenwick Train Station car park

Sections of the Kenwick Train Station Car Parks will be closed for the duration of the project. More information will be provided closer to construction. 

Restorations of impacted areas

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