Claisebrook wastewater pump station

What’s happening?

We have an aged wastewater facility underground at Victoria Gardens, East Perth that requires repair and upgrade in the next few months.

This will involve undertaking work at the pump station, including installation of a new generator and inspection of wastewater storage tanks. This essential work will improve the reliability of wastewater infrastructure within the East Perth area.

To allow us to do this work safely, we will install temporary aboveground bypass pipes to divert the flow of wastewater around the facility while we're undertaking our work.

Where is this happening?

When is this happening?

Work will be happening in two stages:

From May 2026, we will commence preparation work at the pump station and above the storage tanks in the grassed area. This work will require some minor pruning of tress.

From July 2026, the temporary pump and bypass pipes are scheduled for installation, including the inspection and repair of our wastewater facility. This work is expected to take up to 4 weeks.

What the expect:

• In the next few weeks, you may notice contractors within the area conducting service locating or other preparation work.
• As with any construction activities, there will be an increase in vehicle movement, noise, and dust in the area.
• Property access will be maintained during the work.

We appreciate that this work may cause temporary inconvenience and disruption while we carry out this essential maintenance. We will be mindful of residents and try to keep the disruptions to a minimum.
