KRWWTP currently treats sewage inflows from approximately 3,000 customers, with the service area projected to expand to around 8,000 customers by 2040.
In response to this anticipated growth, as well as the need to adapt to climate change, Westernport Water is expanding operations at the site to include;
- An integrated system of 150 Megalitres of treated wastewater storage and
- a 2.24 hectare wetland
In parallel, a Cultural Values and Recreation Concept Plan for the site has been developed in partnership with Bunurong Traditional Owners and through extensive stakeholder consultation to guide the sites evolution as a valued landscape that;
- supports environmental stewardship,
- recognises cultural values, and
- offers opportunities for learning and low-impact recreation such as walking and birdwatching.
This $6.46 million National Water Grid project is funded by the Australian and Victorian Governments and delivered in partnership with Westernport Water.
