World Ocean Day marks next milestone to clean Vaucluse and Diamond Bay’s blue backyard

We're one step closer to changing history!

Below the cliffs of Vaucluse and Diamond Bay, wastewater flows directly into the ocean untreated and this is no longer acceptable. It’s time for change and we’re continuing to work to ensure this iconic area of Sydney gets the clean, blue backyard it deserves.

After years of planning, we’ve landed a solution that has the support of the local and wider Sydney community. Our solution will see wastewater diverted away from the ocean and sent to a nearby treatment plant in Bondi, maximising the use of Sydney Water’s existing network while keeping construction and environmental impacts to a minimum. We still need to build new infrastructure, but it’s just enough to get the job done.

We’ve been assessing the potential construction and environmental impacts of building this solution. This work is now complete and we have a Review of Environmental Factors (REF) for you to look at.

Head to the document library on the right to read our latest newsletter, providing an overview of the proposed solution and download the full REF.
