Project Overview

The population of Rockbank is growing, and we need to make sure we can provide a reliable sewerage service into the future. That's why we're building a new 1.7km rising sewer main on Greigs Road, Rockbank, to help us meet growing demand.

The new main will run west from the intersection of Troups Road North and Greigs Road. Most of the construction will take place within the road reserve, except for a small section that will need to be constructed directly along Greigs Road due to the proximity of other underground assets.

  • How long will works take to complete?

    Works will be carried out in two stages and will take approximately four to five months to complete.

    We will let you know as soon as possible if there are changes to our work timeline.

  • When will works take place?

    Works will occur Monday to Friday, between 7am and 5pm, and on Saturday, between 7am and 1pm.

    Some activities will take place at night between 7pm and 7am.

    We will notify you in advance if you are likely to be impacted by night works.

Project updates

Stay up to date with the latest news on this project.

Since September 2024 we have completed:

  • Works to identify and protect Aboriginal heritage
  • We have successfully installed more than 1500m out of 1700m of the new sewer

The final stages of the project involve open trench cutting to connect the new sewer to existing infrastructure, followed by road resurfacing.

  • Site establishment and early works
  • Environmental and cultural heritage compliance works
  • Construction of about 300m of the main towards the eastern end, between 64 and 118 Greigs Road, Rockbank
  • Construction of about 200m of main towards the western end, near 230-260 Greigs Road, Rockbank

What do the works involve?

While we will make every effort to minimise disruption and inconvenience to you, the following can be expected:

  • Most of the works will be carried out from 7 am to 5 pm Monday to Friday.
  • Some activities will need to be carried out at night in late October/early November from 7 pm to 7 am.
  • To safely connect the new sewer main to the existing network, we need to temporarily shut down the Rockbank Sewer Pump Station. We expect this to happen in late October.
  • This work will take place at night to minimise traffic disruption; during this time, you may experience increased truck traffic and odour as we continue servicing the network.
  • There may be construction noise and dust from machinery and construction vehicles during working hours.
  • Your water and sewerage services will not be interrupted during these works.
  • These works will be carried out on our behalf by Jaydo.

How will traffic, cyclist and pedestrian access be impacted during the project?

Changes to traffic will include:

  • Troups Road North will be temporarily closed at the intersection with Greigs Road from Thursday 24 October, for around eight days.
  • During this time, the following local detours will be in place to guide you safely around the area:
    • Vehicles travelling west along Greigs Road will be detoured via Innovation Avenue and Lightsview Boulevard to access Troups Road North.
    • Vehicles travelling east along Greigs Road will be able to turn right onto Troups Road South.
    • Vehicles travelling along Troups Road North towards Greigs Road will be detoured via Lightsview Boulevard and Innovation Avenue to access Greigs Road.
  • We will be working along Greigs Road for about three weeks, starting in October.
  • During this time, traffic will be reduced to a single lane. Temporary traffic lights will be installed to manage vehicle flow through the area.
  • You may notice temporary speed reduction and lane closures along other sections of Greigs Road.
  • Traffic management will be on site to help vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists move safely through the area.

What can you expect during works?

  • Changes to traffic conditions

    There will be a closure at the intersection of Greigs and Troups Roads, from Thursday 24 October, for around eight days.

    During this time, local detours will be in place to guide you safely around the area.

    You may notice temporary speed reduction and lane closures along other sections of Greigs Road.

  • Construction noise and dust

    There will be construction noise and dust from machinery and vehicles during working hours. We will do the noisiest works earlier in the shift wherever possible.

  • Businesses are still open!

    Greig Street will still remain open for business! We will be working closely with all businesses ensuring it's business as usual for locals and visitors.

    Traffic controllers will be onsite during work hours to help you navigate the area and continue accessing your favourite spots.

  • Crossing Driveways (North side of Greigs Road)

    We will need to cross some residential and businesses driveways to complete this work and will be working with these residents so we can plan this work and minimise any disruption.

    We will let you know in advance if you will be impacted.
