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?

    The project will be completed in 2 stages. There will be day and night works.

    Day works will take place from Monday to Friday, between 7am and 5pm and Saturday, between 7am and 1pm.

    Night works will take place at night from Monday to Friday, between 8pm and 7am, and will take approximately 5 to 7 days to complete.

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

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

  • Early works will start on 4 July 2024.

Stage 1 – Day works

  • Starting in late July 2024

Stage 2 – Night works

  • There are two locations for night works:

Site 1: Starting in either late September or late October, on the corner of Troups and Greigs Roads and taking between 3-5 nights

Site 2: Starting in either late September or late October near 36 Greigs Road and taking between 3-5 nights.

  • 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:

  • We will be working along Greigs Road for approximately 3 weeks, starting in mid-September and continuing through to mid-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.
  • Troups and Greigs Roads will remain open, except for one night towards the end of October when we resurface the 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 lane closure for a section of works along Greigs Road. During this time, traffic lights will be in operation to manage vehicle flow.

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

    Traffic controllers will be on site to help vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians safely navigate the area.

    (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.
