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.

    (please refer to the section above to find out more)

  • 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.
