April 2025 update

We've nearly completed all interim upgrades of wastewater services at Windsor Road at Vineyard, with remaining works soon to be finalised. The completed upgrade works have enabled continuation of new connections to our wastewater networks around Windsor Road.

Background

In November 2024, we reported a constraint with our existing wastewater rising main at Windsor Road in Vineyard. This issue temporarily impacted our wastewater pumping station, risking a pause to issuing Section 73 Compliance Certificates and new customer connections to our wastewater system. We commenced interim works to minimise impacts to new developments.

The interim works completed to date have enabled developers to continue to obtain Section 73 Compliance Certificates and connect to our wastewater system, assisting councils with meeting their Housing Accord Targets. Remaining interim upgrades are soon to be finalised, further enhancing the pumping station operations.

Areas affected and what to expect

The areas temporarily affected by repairs are parts of Alex Avenue, Box Hill, Box Hill Industrial, Riverstone, Riverstone East, The Ponds and Vineyard Stage 1.
 

What to expect

Council Development Application (DA) referrals will progress as usual. Developers can continue their work on-site, and we will be able to issue Section 73 Compliance Certificates to new developments within the area once the interim solution is in place. If your development is within the affected areas and has already been issued a Section 73 Compliance Certificate, your development can connect as planned.

If your development is within the affected areas and you have not yet lodged a Section 73 Compliance Certificate application with us, please proceed as normal.
