Construction is starting soon

We’ll soon begin renewing a section of the water main along Old Barrenjoey Road in Avalon Beach. You may remember, we completed some investigations between November 2022 and April 2023 to help us plan for this work. Since then, we’ve been working behind the scenes to refine our plans for construction.

We know that Old Barrenjoey Road is a busy street that is much loved by locals and visitors and supports many local businesses. While our work will be disruptive, we will make every effort to reduce our impact on local businesses, residents, and pedestrians as much as possible.

Following feedback from residents and businesses, and in consultation with Northern Beaches Council, we’ve planned this work to start in March 2025, to avoid working over the peak summer season. We’ll also do a mix of day work and night work hours to balance the needs of neighbours, pedestrians, and businesses.

More information is provided in our community notification here.

We’ll write to you again before work starts to provide more details about our work and confirm our exact start date in March.
