What is a wastewater treatment plant?

    A wastewater treatment plant treats sewage and wastewater so it can be safely managed in accordance with health and environmental standards.

    This process protects public health, groundwater and the surrounding environment.

    Will the upgrade affect residents during construction?

    Construction impacts will be managed to minimise disruption.

    Further information about timing and any potential impacts will be shared as construction planning is finalised.

    Why is this project important?

    Reliable wastewater treatment is a critical service that supports public health, environmental protection and community growth.

    Upgrading this infrastructure now reduces the risk of system failures and ensures essential services can be maintained into the future.

    How is the Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrade being funded?

    The Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrade is being delivered through a combination of Shire investment and external funding support.

    The project has been approved to ensure essential wastewater services remain safe, compliant and reliable. Funding details will be confirmed as the project moves through procurement and construction.

    How will the community be kept informed?

    This page will be updated as the project progresses, including when construction timing and key milestones are confirmed.

    Updates may also be shared through the Shire’s usual communication channels.
