Moana Growth (Tatachilla Road & Maslin Beach Road)
SA Water together with McConnell Diona Joint Venture (MDJV) are installing a new water main to support growth in the Moana area.
What we are doing and when
The project involves installing 4.2 kilometres of new water main pipework along Tatachilla Road (from California Road to Main South Road), Maslin Beach Road and the southern section of Commercial Road.
Works on Tatachilla Road commenced in early February 2025 and are now complete. Works on Maslin Beach Road commenced on 7 April and will be complete in early May 2025. They are being carried out as dayworks between 7am to 5pm weekdays. Our main work zone will generally move west towards Commercial Road.
As previously communicated, while timeframes are indicative of our project timeline, times and dates may change depending on weather conditions and any technical constraints our teams may encounter.
How will this affect you?
Works will be completed in stages with road closures and detours required (noting strict local access only in some locations). To minimise these impacts, traffic management (including traffic controllers) and advance notification to road users will be in place.
Maslin Beach Road will be reinstated and available for use (with reduced speed limits in place) outside of weekday daytime work hours.
These works require the use of noise generating machinery, hence construction activities may result in some noise and disruption impacts to nearby residents and businesses. Though construction noise cannot be avoided, where possible MDJV will make every reasonable and practicable effort to minimise noise and disruption resulting from these works.
We will notify you in advance should any of these works require a planned and temporary disruption to your water supply, though this is not anticipated for these works.
Please see the map below showing our work area (moving work zone) and detour for the daytime closure of Maslin Beach Road.
PLEASE NOTE
- Traffic controllers will be in place to ensure quarry access only for Maslin Beach Road (from/to direction opposite to our work zone).
- Detours are effective during work hours only; the road will be open for traffic outside work hours with speed restrictions
- The detour routes can be observed in the map below

Upcoming works on Commercial Road
Works on Maslin Beach Road are due to be completed early May. Works on Commercial Road are planned to start on 28 April 2025 and continue through to mid-July 2025. Kindly note that while timeframes are indicative of our project timeline, dates may change depending on weather conditions and any technical constraints our teams may encounter.
