The Fraser Coast Regional Council is engaging with the community to seek feedback on the options for a major sewage treatment plant (STP) capacity increase upgrade in order to meet the needs of our growing population.
Wide Bay Water commissioned a site selection study to identify the preferred option to achieve the capacity increase. The aim of the study was to identify which of the two STPs, Pulgul or Nikenbah, would be the most appropriate for the upgrade and how best to manage the increase in recycled water.
The three primary options that have arisen from the study are being shared with the wider community to seek feedback on each option so that Council can consider the best approach for the future.
