> Relocation of Marong standpipe

The Hermitage Road Maiden Gully site was rejected by Council.

We are currently in negotiations with Vicroads regarding shared access of the Telstra tower stacksite located on the Calder Alternate Highway in Marong. If agreement can be reached, we anticipate the standpipe will be constructed at this site before summer 2010.

Further information will be provided to customers when the standpipe is operational.
