Visit Upper South Creek's page on the planning portal to access a copy of the Scoping Report.
This formally triggered the start of the Environmental Impact Statement process for one of our largest investments in wastewater management and water resilience in a decade, supporting growth in the South West and Western Sydney Aerotropolis Growth Areas.
The Centre will be located north-east of Elizabeth Drive in Kemps Creek, near the upper Wianamatta-South Creek. When complete the Upper South Creek AWRC will go well beyond existing recycling schemes, moving away from the traditional way of building water infrastructure, and will help redefine the way we value and how we use water more sustainably.
The modular design of the AWRC allows it to be developed in stages to support growth, with wastewater treatment plant to be completed in 2026. The Centre will use industry-leading water and resource recycling technology to harness renewable energy, making this also one of the greenest infrastructure investments in NSW.
The Scoping Report was developed to provide more information on the proposed project, including the development of the Secretary's Environmental Assessment Requirement's (SEARs). Significant stakeholder engagement occurred, keeping a strong focus on creating a world-class customer experience.
The Planning Secretary issued the SEARs in August 2020.
