Pipeline construction – Maiden Gully

  • Maiden Gully

Work to install the Maiden Gully to Marong Pipeline continues near Edwards Road and Glenelg Drive in Maiden Gully.

This stage of construction will continue until late May with the pipeline joining the previously installed water main that makes up the Maiden Gully to Marong Pipeline.  

Works will be completed on weekdays between 7am and 5.30pm. 

We may need to temporarily close some sections of the easement during works. This means you may see temporary fencing installed for safety before we start the works. 

We will work to reopen sections of the reserve where possible, only closing the areas where we’re working. You will still be able to access your property as normal. We apologise for any inconvenience.

Boat ramp closed to larger vessels – Upper Coliban Reservoir

  • Upper Coliban Reservoir

The Premier Mine Road boat ramp at the Upper Coliban Reservoir will be closed from 5 January 2026 until further notice to larger vessels that cannot be carried to the water. 

This is due to releases from the Upper Coliban Reservoir that will reduce water levels in the boat ramp area.

Vessels that can be carried to the water – such as kayaks and canoes – are still permitted to use on the reservoir.

This restriction will remain in place until water levels increase at the reservoir.

Please note a blue-green algae alert remains in place at the Upper Coliban Reservoir. Visitors should avoid contact with the water.
