Melbourne Water Sewer Project- Updated August 15th
Recent update as of August is that the project is continuing but has been re-engineered and will tunnel under the river. This is an extensive change to their tenders and timings. We expect the project to be on site now for at least another 18 months.
The Board has commenced discussions with Melbourne Water as to more exact timings and compensation amendments due to the lengthy over run.
