Council is undertaking the Riverway Drive Pipeline Decommissioning project to safely decommission redundant water infrastructure within the Riverway Drive corridor.

The DN1200 Pre-stressed Concrete Pipeline (PCP) was constructed in the 1970s to transport raw water from Ross River Dam to the Douglas Water Treatment Plant. Following the construction of a new pipeline in 2024, the old pipeline was taken out of service and is no longer required.

Council will now permanently decommission the remaining sections of the redundant pipeline to meet Department of Transport and Main Roads (DTMR) requirements and reduce risks associated with ageing underground infrastructure.

Works will focus on decommissioning two remaining sections of the former pipeline, including:

• excavation to access sections of the redundant pipeline
• filling and decommissioning the pipeline in accordance with engineering requirements
• associated reinstatement and site restoration works.

During construction, nearby residents and road users may notice:

• construction vehicles, machinery and workers operating in the area
• increased noise, dust and vibration during work hours
• temporary traffic management and changed traffic conditions
• reduced speed limits near work zones.

Residents along Riverway Drive within the work area may also experience temporary disruptions where works are taking place near driveway access points.

Council will work to minimise disruptions wherever possible and appreciates the community's patience and understanding while these important works are completed.
