Wastewater treatment at the Wye River Beachfront Campground will be transformed through a new treatment plant funded through a state government Visitor Experience Uplift grant.
Following a competitive tender process, Aubin Environmental was selected to design and construct a new wastewater treatment plant for the Wye River Beachfront Campground.
Demolition of old treatment plant has begun this week and works associated with the new plant will soon commence.
The upgraded plant can treat 35,000 litres of waste per day, while minimising noise and odours and managing waste sustainably.
The existing wastewater treatment system is more than a decade old and is struggling to service more than 250 campground users and more than 50 members of the public.
Six applications were received during the competitive tender process, with Campbellfield based company AUBIN Environmental receiving the highest rating for value for money and other key environmental and social requirements.
The Victorian Government has contributed $900,000 for the wastewater treatment plant through a Visitor Experience Uplift Grant. The project is due for completion in late 2024 subject to receiving all planning and Environment Protection Authority approvals.
“Better wastewater treatment means we are more prepared to manage the challenges of the busy summer holiday season in Wye River.”
"This crucial investment in modernising wastewater treatment services in Wye River will ensure better services for caravan park users."
