Details
The pump station is being built to improve the area’s resilience to heavy rain and protect local homes, streets, and the environment. Once complete, it will help reduce the risk of flooding during future storm events.
Construction is expected to begin late July and will take three months to complete.
During this time, there may be some local disruptions, such as noise, traffic management, and restricted access to areas where the work is taking place.
We will do our best to keep this to a minimum and thank you for your patience while we carry out this important work.
Noise
There may be increased noise, dust and vibrations during work but it shouldn’t impact on your power, water, gas or phone services.
Safety
Safety is our biggest priority so please keep children and pets away from worksites.
Bins
Please put your bins out as usual before 6am on your collection day. Our crew will move and return them if needed.
