Upcoming drone inspection

We are in the early planning stages of a new wastewater network in the South-West Growth Region. The Upper South Creek Wastewater Networks project will allow new infrastructure to be built to service the growth and connection to the Upper South Creek Advanced Water Recycling Centre. This project will ultimately deliver wastewater servicing to the region.

We will be using drones to carry out a visual site inspection to inform our design of the wastewater network. The drone will be flown by a qualified Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) pilot, within CASA guidelines and approvals. The drones will not fly lower than around 45 meters above the properties and will take photos of the land to inform planning for this important work.

From Tuesday 11 April 2023 we will be flying a drone along South, Thompson and Cosgrove Creeks areas and taking photos to gain an insight on the landscape and topography. This work will be undertaken over a period of around 5 days.

You may also notice Sydney Water contractors walking along the adjacent streets conducting part of the visual inspections.

The images taken during the visual inspection will not be publicly released and only used to inform future planning for the wastewater services.
