The works will see 300 metres of pipeline installed along a section of Bribie Island Road, which is being installed to improve the water network’s overall reliability.
Unitywater Executive Manager Sustainable Infrastructure Solutions, Mike Basterfield, said the upgrade will reduce reactive and operational issues and increase the capacity of the pipe to deliver long-term benefits for residents.
“These works will ensure Unitywater can meet the needs of the growing community in this area, supplying clean, safe water to keep current and future Moreton Bay residents healthy and hydrated,” Mr Basterfield said.
“During this period of works, drivers will experience changed traffic conditions including potential short delays due to lane closures so our crews can access the pipeline and safely manage use of heavy equipment,” he said.
“We advise drivers to observe signage, drive to conditions and follow directions of traffic controllers, and thank the community for their patience and understanding while our crews complete this essential work.”
Mr Basterfield said these works were expected to be completed mid-2026 as part of the utility’s $2 billion investment over the next five years to deliver critical water and wastewater infrastructure.
