What’s been happening in the Cosgroves Creek and Agribusiness Catchment?

Since April 2023, we have been working on developing the concept design for the new wastewater infrastructure in the Cosgroves and Agribusiness Catchment. The concept design for Cosgroves Creek is at 90% completion and the concept design for the Agribusiness Catchment will be completed early 2024.

The development of the concept design has included site investigations and desktop studies such as:

  • Geotechnical testing: to get an understanding of the soils in the area to determine where suitable locations for building the new infrastructure are.
  • Groundwater testing: to understand potential issues that may impact on the design, the construction and the cost of the pipeline.
  • Ecology Assessments: to identify any areas of significant or endangered native vegetation or animal habitat that will be impacted by the new infrastructure.

The above assessments have helped us to identify potential issues, develop mitigation measures and inform the design. Where the investigations identified a potential issue, the concept design was updated to either to avoid the areas or develop mitigation measures to reduce any issues that might arise.

We will keep the community informed as we finalise the concept design and move onto next phase of the project.
