Unitywater has invested a sum of $40 million dollars into an upgrade of the Nambour Sewage Treatment Plant on the Sunshine Coast , QLD.

​

The upgrade, built by Downer/Tenix, will significantly improve sewerage services to the growing number of residents in Nambour, Woombye, Palmwoods, Eumundi and Yandina.

​

With its design capacity to serve the equivalent of 45,000 people, the upgraded Nambour Sewage Treatment Plant protects the current and future health of surrounding communities.

​

The substantial improvement in effluent quality is also having a positive effect on the health and quality of the Maroochy River in reducing bacteria discharge.

​

The new plant has eliminated 13 tonnes a year of nitrogen and seven tonnes of phosphorus from the treated effluent flowing into the Maroochy River.

​

The plant also provides recycled water to irrigate the local football field, golf course and turf farm and used in dust suppression on construction sites.

​

Unitywater operates 17 sewage treatment plants throughout the Sunshine Coast, Noosa and Moreton Bay regions.
