From Sunday January 14, we'll be working between from 7pm and 5am, Sunday to Thursday, starting at the intersection of Fitzgerald Road and moving south to Alexandra Avenue.

Where possible we will perform the noisiest work at the start of our construction hours. Please note that unavoidable noise associated with construction will still occur throughout the night.

Traffic management will be in place around construction zones to ensure the local community can navigate safely around the area during works.

We’re working with local businesses and residents to reduce impacts to outdoor trading, parking and access to facilities.

Thank you for your support and patience, We look forward to working with community to complete these works in 2024.

Our temporary site office in Pascoe Vale Reserve will remain at the same location as we head into the final phase of construction. Rest assured, we're dedicated to preserving the area, ensuring the community's continued access to the park, and committing to reinstate the site once our work is completed. We're also working with residents to minimise impacts while we work at night.

Your patience during these vital water upgrade works is greatly appreciated. We are fully committed to minimising any inconvenience you may experience, and we'll keep you well-informed about our progress every step of the way.

Construction has now restarted, with the team working on the eastern side of Pascoe Vale Road, between Fletcher and Buckley streets. We are currently working from Monday to Friday between 7am and 5:30pm, with one night of works on 13 December 2023, between 8pm and 5am.

The construction crew will be taking a break from 22 December 2023 to 15 January 2024 when they will return to finish the last leg of the project.

We'd like to say thanks for your patience while we've been working in your neighbourhood. We look forward to completing work in 2024 and restoring Pascoe Vale Reserve to return it to community use.

We’re preparing for the final phase of construction which involves working on busy Pascoe Vale Road. We're in the process of finalising plans to complete this work from around November 2023. A key focus is to minimise impacts to the local community, road users and the public transport network.

Although this process has pushed out the project’s completion date to early 2024, we will continue to work with traders over the busy summer months to reduce impacts to outdoor traders, parking and access to local facilities during the later period of the year.

Temporary site office

The temporary site office located at Pascoe Reserve will remain at the same location during the review period of construction and when construction recommences. We are looking forward to returning the reserve to the community upon the project's completion and will be undertaking additional planting to reinstate and regenerate the area.

Thank you for your patience during these essential water upgrade works. Every effort will be made to minimise any inconvenience to you during work and we will keep you informed of our progress.

While we will continue to make every effort to keep disruption and inconvenience to a minimum, the following can be expected as we move through the area:

• Night works from Monday to Friday between 7pm and 5am. Sections of works may be undertaken during the day, from Monday to Friday between 7am and 5pm.

Construction of your new, larger water main has re-commenced for 2023, with minor works taking place on Alexandra Avenue, Feehan Avenue, and Dean Street before we commence construction on Pascoe Vale Road.

Dean Street

The new water main will be connecting to the water main on Dean Street, across from the Feehan Avenue intersection. These works are scheduled to commence on 30 January 2023 for approximately one week.

You will still be able to travel your normal route along Dean Street, however, there will be changes to traffic flows from 7 am to 6 pm while construction takes place. This will help to reduce impacts and allow for you and the wider community to move around safely while works are being undertaken.

To complete this work in the most timely and safe manner:

• Dean Street, next to the Feehan Avenue intersection, will be closed in 1 lane at a time, “stop” and “slow” signs will direct traffic through the intersection during works.
• We will be requesting that owners of parked vehicles around the construction site relocate their vehicles until construction is complete.
• Bus Route 506 will continue as usual through the area.
• Detours and traffic management will be in place to help vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists to safely move around the area.
• Delays are expected so please allow for extra time when travelling through the area.

Construction on Pascoe Vale Road

We are currently working with VicRoads and Yarra Trams to find the most suitable time to complete the water main upgrade works on Pascoe Vale Road, given it is a major arterial. To allow substantial time to plan and coordinate in with these recommended timeframes, we are now expected to commence construction on Pascoe Vale Road in the first quarter of 2023. This now means that the project is expected to be completed by late 2023.

Although this process has pushed out the project’s completion date to late 2023, it also allows us to commence construction on Pascoe Vale Road in the quieter, colder months of the year. This will help to reduce impacts to outdoor traders, and busy summer facilities during January and the Easter school holiday periods.

We thank you for your ongoing patience and will continue to keep you informed of our progress throughout this essential water main upgrade.

Over the Christmas and New Year period there will be a short break in construction. Works will recommence on the Pascoe Vale Road water main renewal project on 9 January 2023. When we return to site, construction will take place at the intersections of Alexandra Avenue/McPherson Street and Albion Street/Pascoe Vale Road.

McPherson Street and Alexandra Avenue Update

The drainage pipe installation works, on the corner of McPherson Street/Salisbury Street and the corner of Alexandra Avenue/Feehan Avenue have been delayed and will now be completed from 9 January 2023. This will take approximately 2 days in each section.
