The existing Smithton truck wash is outdated and no longer meets the community's current needs. The upgrade will deliver a more modern, efficient and environmentally responsible facility that improves road safety and helps protect Tasmania’s biosecurity.

The new three-bay truck wash will be built on a nearby site on Greys Mill Road, Smithton and will include improved waste treatment systems, upgraded infrastructure, and easier access for users. Construction is being funded primarily by government partners, with TasWater leading the design and delivery of the project.

Works are scheduled to be completed late in 2025.
