The new switch room for the upgraded Our Park Sewage Pump Station is the next installation as part of our award-winning Asset Art program.

In recognition that the pump station is in an area highly valued by Orford residents and visitors, we look forward to involving the community in this exciting project.

In collaboration with Tasmanian artist Bec Adamczewski, we invite the community to vote on the key theme for this project, and the final design.

Two stages of Voting

31 Jan – 14 Feb 2025: Voting on the initial theme, with an opportunity to share ideas for your chosen theme.

3 – 14 Mar 2025: Vote for one of two designs developed from the most popular theme decided by the community.

The Orford Sewage Network Upgrade is being implemented to mitigate overflow issues, enhance the reliability of infrastructure, and improve environmental outcomes. The project is on schedule for completion by mid-2025.

Our Park is one of five sewage pump stations in Orford undergoing upgrades, which include the installation of new underground emergency storage tanks and pumps. To eliminate odours, new rubber seals will be added around the wet well. Additionally, electrical upgrades, improved lighting, and enhanced vehicle access will allow for quicker emergency response times.

We recognise that the construction of new structures may temporarily affect the visual appeal of Our Park for both residents and visitors. Through the Asset Art Program, we aim to create a mural that the local community can take pride in.
