The Broadway water pipeline

Project goal:

To cater for population growth, we are planning to upgrade water supply infrastructure in the City of Swan.

Type of project:

New water pipeline

This project is part of the City of Swan water upgrades

Status:

Starting soon 

Delivery Date:

Construction is planned to start in August 2025 and will take approximately eight months to complete.

What’s happening?

Water Corporation is planning to upgrade the water supply infrastructure in Ellenbrook, Aveley and The Vines to cater for population growth in the City of Swan. As a part of this work, we are planning to install 900 metres of new water pipeline along The Broadway in the City of Swan's road reserve.

The pipe will be installed mainly through open trench methods however, to minimise impacts, we will use trenchless technology to cross Bordeaux Lane and Maffina Parade.

Where is this happening?

Work will be completed along The Broadway and its adjoining streets. Crew will begin at the Western end of The Broadway, neat Tranquillity Crescent, and progress towards the East.

When is this happening?

Construction is planned to start in July 2025 and will take approximately six months to complete.

How will this impact me?

Noise and Dust

As with any construction activities there will be an increase in noise and dust in the area.

Traffic Management

Traffic management will also be in place as required to direct vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists safely around the work area.

Access to local businesses

We appreciate that construction can be disruptive to the local business community. We are working to reduce impacts where possible and encourage the community to support local businesses during construction. Businesses will remain open, and access will always be maintained throughout the project.

Water supply

Should a planned water outage be required, any affected land and/ or business owners/ occupiers will be notified in advance.

We thank you for your understanding and cooperation whilst this essential work takes place.

Reinstatement

We follow a thorough reinstatement process to ensure all impacted areas are replaced like for like, where practically possible. Unfortunately, our work will result in unavoidable impacts to roads and verges.

Once our new infrastructure is in the ground, the section of open trench along The Broadway will be backfilled, compacted, and reinstated.

We are working closely with the City of Swan to ensure all reinstatements are carried out to an acceptable standard.

Coordination with The Broadway Duplication works

The City of Swan have recently completed works to duplicate The Broadway between Westgrove Drive & Maffina Parade.

We are planning to install the new pipeline alongside this duplicated section of The Broadway in 2025.
