Description

Planned upgrades to the treatment plant in 2021 will allow for the daily discharge to grow from the present 16 megalitres to 28 megalitres per day. The upgrade introduces additional treatment processes to reduce the amount of nutrients going to the ocean. This will reduce the Phosphorus load by 50% and maintain the Nitrogen load at its current level. The outfall point will be extended up to a kilometre into the ocean. The effect on the marine environment and biodiversity in the immediate vicinity will be obvious to divers.
