The significant wastewater pipe upgrade started in September 2024 and will be finished mid-2026. Parts of this upgrade are now completed (Clyde Road, Creyke Road and the intersection of Creyke/Ilam/Maidstone Roads). The next stage involves work along Maidstone Road, which is expected to take until mid-2026 to complete.
The contractor will start with trenching and excavation works down Maidstone Road in a westerly direction.

Traffic impacts
There will be traffic management in place while the work is being completed, including shoulder and lane closures, one-way systems and the temporary removal of on-street parking. We will update you about any changes as the project progresses.
The main traffic impact during this next stage is:
Signposted detours will be in place for affected traffic travelling east. A 30km/h speed limit will be in place so we can keep our workers and everyone safe.
Please follow the signage and keep an eye out for changes in traffic management.
