New water and wastewater services in Austral and Leppington

Sydney Water is building water and wastewater infrastructure in Austral and Leppington to service Western Sydney’s growing population. We conducted site investigations to identify key service points and contact impacted residents as required.

Construction works have now commenced and we anticipate services to be available for this first phase by the end of Q1 of calendar year 2023, weather permitting

Works include:

  • vegetation clearing and spoil removal

  • Construction of:

  • Temporary compound to store site sheds, machinery and materials

  • New wastewater pumping station along Gurner Avenue

  • Permanent access road within the pumping station

  • 1.7 kilometres of a new wastewater pressure main

  • 6.9 kilometres of trunk wastewater mains

  • 1.7 kilometres of wastewater lead-ins

  • 3.6 kilometres of trunk water mains along Kelly Street, Tenth Avenue and Edmondson Avenue

  • Maintenance holes and vent shafts within private properties

  • Remediation of impacted construction areas

Work hours

Our construction work hours for this project are:

  • Monday to Friday: 7 am to 6 pm

  • Saturday 8 am to 1 pm (if required)

Some out of hours work will be required and impacted residents will be notified in advance of work starting.

Parking and traffic management

You may experience additional traffic and heavy truck movements as we complete our work. To ensure the safety of our workers and the local community, traffic control will be in place. Safety barriers will be located on the roadside. Access to driveways will be maintained, and any disruptions will be communicated with impacted residents in advance.

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding while we complete this essential work.

COVID-19

Sydney Water provides essential services and we are continuing our work to ensure everything works the way it should. While working in your area we will follow strict health and safety requirements in response to the current COVID- 19 situation. We appreciate the uncertainty and hardship felt by communities during COVID-19 and the additional pressures our work can cause. We will plan our work to limit the impact where possible.
