Start of works- Site investigations

Sydney Water and its delivery partner BMD will be carrying out site investigations in different locations in the Richmond and North Richmond areas to better understand ground conditions and to inform the design of the assets, leading to construction.

We plan to start investigation works on Tuesday 20 June 2023 and expect to finish by late July 2023, weather permitting.

Our work hours will be from 7 am to 6 pm Monday to Friday and from 8 am to 1 pm on Saturday. No work is planned for Sundays or public holidays.

We know our work can be disruptive, so we’ll make every effort to reduce any impact this work may have on you. You may experience:

  • Noise: During work hours moderate noise levels may be emitted due to construction machinery. No heavy noise activities are planned.
  • Parking: Some parking may be disrupted due to construction vehicles and work zones. If we cannot access a work area, it can cause delays and prolong the work.
  • Traffic: Our machinery and trucks may take space up on the street. Traffic controllers will help traffic flow while keeping you and our team safe. Allowances will be made for emergency vehicle access during this time.


Private property access

We will make sure that residents continue to have access to all driveways and private properties during this time.

If we need access to inspect a Sydney Water asset located within your property, we will notify you separately to arrange access.
