Sewer Augmentation Works to commence as part of Plumpton Road Project

30 October 2024

A new stage of the Plumpton Road Project is scheduled to commence shortly, with Sewer Augmentation works set to begin at the beginning of November 2024, weather and contractor availability permitting.


About the Sewer Augmentation

In addition to planned improvements to the road, intersections and other surrounding traffic infrastructure, sewer capacity upgrades are also required along Plumpton Road in preparation for anticipated population growth related to the Southern Growth Area.

These sewer upgrades are to occur before the road construction, and are being undertaken between Lansdowne Ave to the Riverina Water standpipe on Plumpton Road.

See the map provided below which outlines the scheduled area of works.


When are works scheduled to begin?

This aspect of the Plumpton Road Project will commence work on 28 October 2024. Council-related activities are anticipated to be completed in mid-December, weather and contractor availability permitting.


How will these works affect me?

Lansdowne Ave will be closed for 3 days with a detour in place. Traffic control will operate on Plumpton Road whilst the new pipe is being laid.

There may also be disruptions to the shared path. Pedestrians and residents are advised to be aware of trip hazards. Entry to the construction area behind fences is also prohibited for the duration of the works.

There will be no interruption to sewer services during the works, nor will driveway access be impeded.

The work will also require a water service outage while a main is repositioned.

A separate communication will be provided from Riverina Water to all those properties affected.
