What’s been happening in the Thompsons Creek and South Creek Catchments?

Since April 2023, we have been working on developing the concept design for the new wastewater infrastructure in the Thompsons Creek and South Creek Catchments. The concept design for the Thompsons Creek and South Creek is nearing 90% completion.

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.
  • Cultural Heritage Assessment: to find out if there are any known Aboriginal Cultural Heritage sites near the project area.
  • 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 inform the design, develop mitigation measures and identify potential issues. Where the investigations identified a potential issue, the concept design was updated 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.
