This project entailed the construction of a new Wastewater Treatment Plant in Goulburn, NSW, bringing the region’s water infrastructure into the 21st century. The original plant, built in 1918, was replaced with a state-of-the-art MBR facility, providing modern wastewater treatment and effluent re-use facilities to some 27 000 users.

This was an important project, including constructing a new concrete flow-receiving structure, an in-ground concrete raw sewage lift pump station and the refurbishment of an existing grit tank. As well as meeting modern environmental standards, it will provide recycled water for the Goulburn Reuse Scheme, which will be used to maintain Goulburn’s green spaces.

Not only does the plant satiate Goulburn’s need for clean water, but its construction created 500 jobs, an enormous investment in the growth of the region.
