Braidwood Sewage Treatment Plant
Braidwood, New South Wales
Total funding: The total cost of this project was $10,194,000. The Australian Government invested $3,300,000 with the remaining funding provided by the New South Wales Government and Palerang Council.
About the project
This project, completed in late 2010, involved the construction of a new sewerage treatment plant in Braidwood, NSW. The existing plant was replaced due to its age, the inadequate function of some elements of the system, and to ensure compliance with Environmental Protection Authority licensing requirements.
Project benefits
The project has:
- ensured sewerage is treated to a level suitable for discharge to Flood Creek,
- provided an emergency overflow storage which minimises the likelihood of untreated sewerage entering Flood Creek,
- increased the use of recycled water, and
- enabled the Palerang Council to meet Environmental Protection Authority licensing requirements.
Water Smart Australia projects are funded by the Australian Government's Water for the Future initiative.
