About the project

Barwon Water is currently planning improvement works to the Queenscliff Feeder Main (water supply) along sections of the Bellarine Highway and into Point Lonsdale. These works will help increase year-round water capacity, ensuring Barwon Water can continue to provide high quality, affordable and secure services to our customers.

The Queenscliff Feeder Main (6.3 kilometres long) is the sole source of water supply for the customers in Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale and therefore it is crucial that it is in a good and reliable condition to maintain the current service levels and avoid future unplanned service interruptions to these towns.

Preliminary site investigations

We have now completed preliminary site investigations, including geotech investigations, cultural heritage and flora and fauna assessments and service proving,

Design stage site investigations

The design phase of the project is underway and we will be carrying out further site investigations over the coming months.

Barwon Water will be replacing sections of the feeder main in stages over a period of approximately eighteen months.
