Works update

1 August 2022

The works are set to commence in August and is expected to be completed by the end of December 2023, with some minor commissioning works possibly occurring in early 2024. Construction activities will occur during standard working hours Monday to Friday, between 7am and 5pm; and if required Saturday between 7am and 1pm.

As part of these works, please note:

  • Majority of the works will take place with the reclamation plant site at 1-33 Treatment Works Road, East Colac, however some work will be undertaken in the road reserve near the plant and within the neighbouring property Australian Lamb (Colac).
  • Construction works will be completed in stages, with major earth works scheduled to be completed by mid-2023 and remaining works by the end of 2023.
  • Please be mindful of construction vehicles entering and exiting the Barwon Water site on Treatment Works Road.
  • Access to surrounding private properties will be maintained.
  • There may be increased noise and dust from trucks and construction. We apologise for the inconvenient and will do our best to minimise this.
  • There may be some vibration noise from these works. We anticipate minimal disruption to nearby residents.
  • There are no planned interruptions to your water or wastewater services resulting from these works.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while we undertake these essential works to support the Colac Water Reclamation Plant upgrade.
