Ellenbrook to Wangara wastewater pipeline
Project goal:
We are upgrading the wastewater infrastructure to cater for the continued growth within the City of Swan and City of Wanneroo.
Type of project:
New wastewater pipeline
This project is part of the City of Swan water upgrades
Status:
In construction
Delivery Date:
Mid 2026
What’s happening?
We are installing a 6 km of single wastewater pipeline and 8.2 km of dual wastewater pipeline to cater for the continued growth within the City of Swan and City of Wanneroo.
Where is this happening?
This pipeline will extend from the existing Barrambie Way wastewater pump station in Henley Brook and connect to the existing wastewater network in Madeley. Please refer to the project map for the location of the pipeline.
When is this taking place?
Construction commenced in August 2024 and is estimated for completion in mid 2026.
How will this impact the community?
As with any construction activities there will be an increase in noise, dust and activity in the area. There will also be temporary impacts to roads, verges and pedestrian paths.
We will keep the community updated as the project progresses and be in touch before construction commences in your area.
As a short section of the pipeline will be installed through the Gnangara Pines. We have worked closely with the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA), the City of Swan and our environmental team, to minimise any potential impact to the area during and after construction.
We follow a thorough reinstatement process to ensure all impacted areas are replaced like for like, where practically possible. We will also work closely with the City of Swan, City of Wanneroo, businesses and residents to ensure all reinstatements are carried out to an acceptable and high standard.
