Works will involve:
- Demolishing and removing parts of the exisiting concrete structure
- Installing anchors into bedrock to stablise the spillway structure
- Constructing new concrete crest, chute and sidewalls.
Our appointed contractor, Aqua Metro Services, will complete these works on behalf of Melbourne Water.
What to expect
While Melbourne Water makes every effort to minimise impacts to the community, during works you may notice:
- Traffic flow increased traffic movements along Scammell Close with a temporary access track constructed from Scammel Close to the spillway.
- Temporary path diversions Temporary diversion of the pedestrian and bicycle track for the duration of works. Traffic management will be in place to safely guide the community around the area.
- Dust and Noise There will be a short-term increase in noise, dust and vibration levels due to the machines and equipment being used. We will monitor noise and dust levels throughout works to ensure they don’t exceed Environmental Performance Agency thresholds.
- Vegetation There may be some tree pruning to accommodate machinery. Tree protection fencing will be installed for the duration of works.
Melbourne Water understands the importance of trees to the community and will work with local groups and Council to ensure trees are protected throughout the works.
