Camellia Site Environmental Management Works Review of Environmental Factors

Sydney Water has published a Review of Environmental Factors (REF) for upcoming site environmental management work at Sydney Water’s Camellia site on Devon Street in Rosehill (Lot 1 DP1300589).

The REF assesses potential impacts of environmental management work planned for the recently acquired site.

Sydney Water plans to raise the site about 1.7m using natural material from tunnelling projects around Sydney. There will be about 15 trucks (30 truck movements) delivering material between these sites. Activities on site include erosion and sediment control, fencing and earthwork.

Work will start in November 2024 with completion in mid-2026.

A future Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) is proposed for the site as part of the Greater Parramatta Water Cycle Management Project, and subject to State Significant Infrastructure approvals (SSI 74258485). The new WRRF will produce advanced treated water which will be released into Parramatta River. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will be prepared for this Project and will be on display late 2025 for public comment.
