New water treatment plant at Sydney Park
A new water treatment plant that will have capacity for future expansion.
Project Status: In progress
Construction is estimated to start in early 2020
Why we’re doing this
Increasing capacity for stormwater harvesting
In 2017 the water treatment plant at Sydney Park was decommissioned to accommodate the state government’s WestConnex project. This project extended into a part of the park where the plant was located. The removal of the water treatment plant provided us with an opportunity to design and build a new plant. The new water treatment plant will have more capacity for future expansion, and will be located at the Nursery Depot in the park. The design work started in November 2019. Construction is estimated to start in early 2020 and be completed in mid-2020.
What we’re doing
Stormwater harvesting
We’re increasing alternative water resources to drought-proof our city and keep it green and cool. Our largest stormwater harvesting system in Sydney Park will help us achieve our 2030 target to reduce sediments and nutrients from stormwater runoff. It will also help us meet 10% of water demand through local water capture and reuse.
