Huntfield Heights to Noarlunga Downs: Brodie Road, River Road
Upgrading our wastewater network in Onkaparinga Heights
We’re upgrading wastewater infrastructure in Noarlunga Downs, Huntfield Heights and Onkaparinga Heights to support reliable services for current and future customers.
In May 2026, installation will begin on a new gravity‑fed wastewater main. The alignment includes three sections, each crossing Main South Road via micro‑tunnelling.
This infrastructure will service and enable development of approximately 3,000 new residential allotments in Onkaparinga Heights.
Completion is expected by Mid 2027, providing increased network capacity to support future development.
