Lower Plenty Sewerage Project

We’re pleased to let you know we’re working on the engineering design needed to bring a piped sewerage system to Lower Plenty.

Based on our current estimates we expect to finish the design by the end of the year and begin construction in 2023. 

During 2022, to complete the design and prepare for construction, you’ll see us and our specialist contractors undertaking surveying and investigative work in your neighbourhood. We’ll be:

• Undertaking general surveying and assessments
• Locating existing power, gas, water and telecommunications infrastructure
• Geotechnical investigations
• Aboriginal cultural heritage investigation
• Ecological and tree surveying.

This information will allow us to refine our engineering plans for the sewerage system and prepare for construction. There’s more detailed information about this work and how it will affect local residents in the January 2022 update below.

Once complete, the project , will provide sewerage services to properties in Lower Plenty that can’t contain their wastewater on-site. This project will benefit the Lower Plenty community by:

• Improving the health of local waterways
• Protecting public health
• Reducing sewer odours that are currently noticeable in the area
• Providing a more liveable environment for locals and visitors to the area.
