Following the construction pause implemented by the NSW Government earlier this month, Sydney Water has reviewed the Prospect South to Macarthur Project (ProMac) schedule and identified critical projects that would jeopardise summer water supply in South West Sydney if further delayed.

Locations to resume

From Monday 2 August 2021, ProMac projects which will resume works within restricted Local Government Areas include:

• Cecil Park Reservoir (Liverpool LGA)
• Liverpool Reservoir (Liverpool LGA)
• Pipeline in Western Sydney Parklands (Liverpool LGA)
• Pipeline in Kemps Creek (Liverpool LGA)
• Pipeline in Cecil Hills (Liverpool LGA)
• Pipeline in Mount Annan (Camden LGA and Campbelltown LGA)
• High Voltage power works in Bonnyrigg Heights (Fairfield LGA and Liverpool LGA)

Currently, the existing reservoir at Cecil Park is offline while our Contractor, Freyssinet Australia, works to upgrade the reservoir. The reservoir can only be offline in the winter months when demand for water is lower. To meet critical program milestones and ensure the reservoir is operational in time for summer we need to continue our works, deemed as critical construction.

What you need to know

Sydney Water will re-commence this work with strict COVID-19 controls in place. Only personnel that are approved to work under the latest NSW Government Guidelines will be permitted onsite. We will have a total of 10 workers attending each site each day. Our workers will travel directly from home to site and back each day and will have no interaction with the local community.

We thank the local community for their patience and cooperation while we deliver these essential works.

While urgent works continue, all crews are adhering to testing, social distancing, and mask requirements.

Sydney Water has a comprehensive process in place to ensure we are only conducting urgent works during this time - works that may cause harm to the community and environment if they are not carried out.

Members of the public can rest easy knowing that Sydney Water's frontline crews are authorised to work safely to continue delivering these essential services for their communities.

As you are aware, current NSW Government guidelines require a mandatory pause on all construction within Greater Sydney until Saturday 31 July 2021. In response to this announcement, we will return to Western Road to continue the pipeline installation between Cross Street and Elizabeth Drive once the pause is lifted, or as soon as reasonably practicable.

Upcoming work - Western Road closure

To continue installation of the pipeline, we will need to implement a full closure of Western Road between Cross Street and Elizabeth Drive during the daytime. The work will take place for a period of up to 3 weeks between Monday 2 August and Saturday 21 August 2021, weather permitting and pending NSW Health Advice.

Traffic changes

A section of Western Road between Cross Street and Elizabeth Drive will be closed to traffic during our work hours. A detour will be in place via Elizabeth Drive, Devonshire Road and Cross Street.

Our contractor Athassel Civil and sub-contractor Pezzimenti are currently working on tunnelling underneath Westlink M7 to install a portion of the new water main.

At the time of the NSW Government’s announcement to pause all construction activities, the tunnelling activities were halfway completed.

Due to the nature of the tunnelling equipment used and its potential impacts on the ground underneath the M7 roadway when not in operation, we have been granted permission to continue this work “to ensure the safe operation of existing transport infrastructure”.

We will have a total of 10 workers attending this site each day. Our workers will travel directly from home to site and back each day and will have no interaction with the local community.
