Construction Update - West Shelly SPS

13 May 2025

As part of the Orford Sewerage Network Upgrade, we have commissioned the West Shelly Sewage Pump Station—an important step in protecting our local environment and supporting Orford’s future.

There are two activities to complete at the pump station, and we want to keep the community informed about what to expect:

  • Tuesday 13 May, early afternoon:
    We’ll be installing a key component at the Sewage Pump Station. This short activity may result in a temporary risk of increased odour for around 30 minutes. The walking track and boat ramp will remain open and safe to use during this time.
  • One day of works planned before 30 June 2025:
    We’ll need to complete one more day of works at the Sewage Pump Station. This activity may result in a temporary risk of increased odour whilst works are taking place. For everyone’s safety, the walking track near the pump station will likely be closed during this work due to the use of large machinery. We’ll give at least five business days’ notice before it begins.

We appreciate the community's patience and support as we wrap up this important upgrade.
