What's this project all about?

The Green Point Sewage Treatment Plant will receive a major upgrade during 2024 – 2025. This includes upgrading the electrical and control systems and the two anaerobic digesters. The plant will also receive a new biogas system.

Upgrading the ageing anaerobic digester and biogas systems will contribute to a more efficient waste treatment process and assist in minimising odour. By improving the systems that the plant utilises to operate effectively, we are ensuring that our infrastructure will meet the needs of the growing Bridgewater community.

Construction is planned for May 2024, following preliminary works at the Green Point Sewage Treatment Plant from 22 April. The Project will take approximately 10 months to complete.

What will you notice during our works?

There will be construction activity around the Green Point Sewage Treatment Plant including truck movements, heavy equipment, service vehicles, and workers. Those visiting the playground, or regularly attending businesses near the Treatment Plant are advised to be cautious of additional traffic in the area.

To facilitate the project, we will be moving waste from Green Point Sewage Treatment Plant to other Pump Stations to be processed. The initial location is a sewage pump station located on Cadbury Road. After approximately 10 weeks we will commence transferring some waste to the Cameron Bay Sewage Treatment Plant in Berriedale.

You will notice minor increased truck movement at these locations. We are confident that the risk of odour is minimal due to the nature of the technology used during the transfer process.

Most work will take place weekdays Monday to Friday. There will be some waste transfer activity on Saturdays to ensure the plant remains efficient and operational.
