Mid-year progress update: Austral and Leppington
The first half of 2022 has been full of challenging weather conditions for the Austral Leppington Wastewater Stage 3 project team. Despite this, we are fast approaching the end of our enabling works phase, during which we have:
- Built two site compounds that will support main works by providing storage facilities, site offices and a Community Information Hub
- Cleared vegetation to enable construction
- Established access roads for the next phase of construction
- Completed extensive surveying of the project area.
In the coming weeks, we will start our main construction work to deliver safe and reliable wastewater services to residents across Austral and Leppington. During this time, you may notice some of the following construction activity happening in your area:
- piling and excavation work to construct a new wastewater pumping station and new manholes along Gurner Avenue, Austral
- construction of a permanent access road within the pumping station compound
- construction of a temporary pumping station
- setting up a second site compound at 390 Fourth Avenue, Austral
- boring of new wastewater mains, trunk mains and wastewater lead-ins
- installation of watermain along Kelly Street, Edmondson Ave & Tenth Ave
However, the one thing you may notice the most is the delivery of 28 large diameter wastewater pipes that will soon be delivered to site.
So, keep an eye out for this in the coming weeks and be mindful to follow the directions of our traffic controllers as your safety is our highest priority!
