Project overview
The Rural City of Wangaratta has identified the North West Growth Area and the Southern Growth Area as the city's two main residential development zones.
Both areas are in the early stages of development and North East Water is constructing a new sewer pump station and underground detention storage near Salisbury Street to provide sewerage services for the Southern Growth Area.
Building and earthworks are underway. Works involve the construction of a new sewerage pump station to collect flows from future residential development. A detention storage system is also being built to manage peak flows from the area into the city's sewer network.
The works will allow residential growth to continue in the Southern Growth Area for many years.
What to expect during construction
Construction is underway and nearby residents may notice:
- Heavy vehicles – you may see heavy and other vehicles moving to and from the construction site and on local roads.
- Noise – you may notice noise from construction activities during certain periods.
- Dust – you may notice some dust during excavation at the site to lay new pipes.
