We are installing new fencing around the Malabar Water Resource Recovery Facility. The new fencing will ensure the security of the facility and a substantial improvement to the aesthetics and amenity of the facility for residents and visitors.

Work has started and is expected to finish by September 2023, weather permitting.

The work will include:

• revegetation around the Facility with native plants, information about the plants, and their traditional uses
• construction of a concrete pathway, seating, and stairs leading into the National Park at the end of Fishermen’s Road
• construction of an Indigenous yarning circle, Facility signage, and drinking water filling station located at the Fisherman’s Road entry to the Facility

• clearing of vegetation along the perimeter of the Facility
• construction of concrete footings and installation of palisade-type fencing to the entire perimeter of the Facility
• restoration and revegetation of disturbed areas during the construction phases of the works

Biomethane project

What's involved?

Sydney Water in collaboration with Jemena and the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), are working together to produce green biogas. The gas will be produced from sewerage biosolids, a by-product of wastewater treatment, into biomethane which will then be blended into the existing gas distribution network for domestic use in homes and businesses in Sydney.

This project will help Sydney Water reach our net zero carbon emissions goal by 2050.
