We’re always trying to minimise the disruption caused by essential works, and a project that’s just wrapped up in Riddells Creek is a great example of how collaboration can bring big community benefits.
When VicTrack set out to build a new carpark at Riddells Creek train station as part of the Victorian Government's Car Parks for Commuters Program, Macedon Ranges Shire Council took the opportunity to upgrade the road outside, and Greater Western Water swooped in to replace the sewer pipes beneath the street.
While the 3.5-kilometre-long stretch of pipe was due for replacement, the work was brought forward to be done neatly between the new carpark and the new street.
Greater Western Water General Manager, Growth and Infrastructure, Amanda Smith, said it was all about getting the best result for the community.
“The new pipe services the residential area and brings more capacity in the sewerage system, putting us on the front foot for growth,” she said.
“While it was more complex to co-ordinate these three intricate projects to be done in such rapid sequence, the benefits are obvious. We were able to minimise the disruption to travelers and avoid the need to double up efforts if these projects were further apart.”
“It’s a testament to each organisation and their commitments to community outcomes that this work has now been completed so smoothly.”
All told:
VicTrack built the new carpark, including 50 extra spaces, landscaping, CCTV for safety and signage
Greater Western Water replaced 3.5 kilometres of sewer pipe running along Hamilton Street
Macedon Ranges Shire Council fully reconstructed the pavement pavement on Hamilton and Fitzgerald streets, from Stephens Street to Sutherlands Road, including a new footpath, kerb and channel.
The work was partly funded by the Australian Government’s Local roads and Community Infrastructure Program. The work is now complete and undergoing final testing.
