27 March 2025 to 1 May 2025

We’re preparing for works in Mount Waverley to deliver Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) East for Melbourne and Victoria.

What we are doing

Site investigations will be undertaken in preparation for construction of the Emergency Support Facility.

The Emergency Support Facility, located on High Street Road, will house important infrastructure, essential to the safe operation of SRL East, including an intervention and ventilation shaft and backup control centre.

These site investigations will help the project team better understand important information about the ground conditions and where underground services are located. This information informs the design, planning and construction methods at the Emergency Support Facility site.

Day works 7am to 6pm Monday to Friday and 7am to 1pm Saturday

The following works will take place for approximately 8 weeks.

WhereWhen What we are doing What to expect
Emergency Support facility site, Mount Waverley Day works: Ongoing from early April 2025
  • Installing temporary site facilities for our workers
  • Site investigations including:
    • Non destructive digging (NDD) to excavate into the ground to confirm location of underground services
    • Saw cutting and removing sections of concrete
    • Using small drill rigs to drill boreholes to investigate ground conditions and take ground samples
    • Using equipment to undertake environment, land and other visual surveys and inspections.
  • Medium to high levels of noise associated with NDD, concrete cutting and drilling works
  • Low levels of dust and vibration
  • Workers, machinery and vehicles at the site
  • All access to site will be via the existing gate at High Street Road
  • No traffic changes are anticipated as part of these works.

Impacts

As with all major infrastructure projects, surrounding communities may experience some impacts during construction. The project supports businesses and residents to continue to live, work, study and shop in their community.

Please contact us on 1800 105 105 to discuss support available if you are impacted by our works.

How we will manage our works

We will minimise impacts to the community by:

  • Maintaining access to homes and businesses
  • Monitoring noise, dust and vibration levels
  • Turning off equipment when not in use
  • Using water and dust suppressants.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we progress the delivery of SRL East at Mount Waverley.
