Northern Diversion Sewerage Project
Client: Melbourne Water Corporation
The Northern Diversion Sewerage Project is a 6 year project being undertaken jointly by Melbourne Water and Yarra Valley Water. The aim of the project is to protect the Merri and Moonee Ponds Creeks from wet weather sewerage overflows. It will also help to ensure that Melbourne’s sewerage system is able to cope with projected future growth in the north of the metropolitan area. Consultation with key stakeholders is a key element of this project and Context has been involved from the start. Context developed a community and stakeholder relations strategy and a detailed plan for the investigations phase of the project. Methods of communication include regular bulletins, information sessions and personal contact with the most affected residents. In parallel, Context’s heritage team carried out heritage impact assessments on possible construction sites.
