  • Project typeOpen Spaces and Facilities

Why are we doing this?

  • The Brooms Head Holiday Park On Site Sewage Management System requires upgrading as the treatment plant is at the end of its useful life.

Project Benefits
  • The new system will comply with current environmental legislation.
  • It will be designed to cater for the number of visitors to the Brooms Head Reserve and Holiday Park and allow for any future upgrades to the park.

What’s been happening?
  • The onsite sewage management system was installed in 2023, becoming operational for the Christmas period 2023/2024.
  • The aging infrastructure supplying wastewater from around the Park to the management system was identified as failing. From April to December 2024 the 780m long pressure rising main was replaced, four pump stations replaced, and an additional pump station installed.
  • To facilitate environmental protection, campers sullage waste and toilet cassette drop off bays have also been constructed at six locations across the park.

Next Steps

Project will now be delivered in two stages being –

  • Stage 1 – upgrade of the on site sewage management system only that is at the end of its useful life.  The system is proposed to be located partially underground near the AC section and library.
