Bibra Lake Treatment Facility
Project goal:
As an operational priority, we continue to investigate long-term solutions to effectively manage odour from a wastewater facility in the Bibra Lake area. This facility filters gas from a network of large wastewater pipelines that converge near Bibra Drive. These critical pipelines carry much of the wastewater from the southern metropolitan area to Woodman Point Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Status:
Not completed
Delivery Date:
Refurbishment works have now been completed. Following turning this facility back on (to ensure it is operating correctly) and further monitoring on site, we can now confirm that this treatment facility will not be turned back on.
March update
Our intention was to turn the Bibra Drive Treatment Facility on in February 2025, following final testing, to ensure it is operating correctly.
Shortly after turning the facility back on in February, we received an odour complaint, and the facility was turned off.
After further monitoring on site, we have now determined that this treatment facility will remain off indefinitely.
Where is it happening?
All work activities are taking place at the treatment facility next to the drainage pump station on Bibra Drive, Bibra Lake.
What happens now?
You may notice activity at the site over the coming weeks as we isolate the facility from the wastewater system.
We will undertake some further research and planning to determine how we manage the treatment of the wastewater in this area moving forward.
We will provide further information to residents once we determine our approach.
Thank you for your patience.
