Sustainability Report 2006/07Case study: pipeline a high profile and demanding project
The Sugarloaf Pipeline project has been a particularly high-profile and controversial one for Melbourne Water during the year, and for our delivery partners within the Sugarloaf Pipeline alliance.
A lot of effort has gone into liaising with landowners along the likely route of the pipeline, to explain the potential impacts and negotiate access to their property for survey work.
We’ve also provided key community members with detailed information on environmental compliance to help address their concerns.
As well as being a key part of the Victorian Government’s Our Water Our Future plan, the pipeline is of significant interest to many groups in its own right, and so its delivery will be held to an exceptionally high standard. Our challenge, and our intention, is to meet this standard.
