Project update - Curtis and Heaslip Road

New water and wastewater pipes installed beneath Curtis Road and Heaslip Road are on schedule and continuing to progress at pace.

Heaslip Road update

We are preparing to turn the new water pipes on Heaslip Road during July to start supplying the local area. Wastewater pipes are continuing to be laid beneath Heaslip Road until the end of 2026.

Heaslip Road has been temporarily reinstated during our works. The permanent reinstatement of Heaslip Road, between Alicante Court and Plati Road, is scheduled for July. Permanent reinstatement for the rest of Heaslip Road will occur once works are completed. For the section of Heaslip Road, where water and wastewater pipes are installed close together, we will reinstate the full lane to ensure a smooth and consistent driving surface for commuters.

Curtis Road reinstatement

Wastewater pipe installation along Curtis Road between the Northern Expressway and Andrews Road has been completed, and permanent road reinstatement is expected to be completed during July. Further wastewater pipe installation west of the Northern Expressway is due to commence in August.

About temporary and permanent reinstatement work

As a standard practice, we temporarily reinstate areas, such as roads and footpaths at the end of each shift to ensure the area is safe and accessible for commuters. This approach allows us to reopen the road for commuters as quickly as possible between shifts to minimise disruption while also enabling us to return to the same area if needed should any issues arise during pipe laying, testing or commissioning prior to permanent reinstatement.

Once pipes are installed and operational, we return to permanently reinstate areas affected by our works.

Final road reinstatement occurs at the completion of key sections of pipe installations and testing.
