It supplies local farmers with Class A recycled water for crops like strawberries and pineapples, providing a reliable, climate-independent water source. This supports agricultural growth, creates jobs, and reduces nutrient pollution in the Caboolture River. Construction began in 2022, featuring a 22km pipe network and advanced multi-stage treatment. Following regulatory approval in November 2024, the scheme became operational in April 2025. Award-winning WIS showcases innovative water management and environmental stewardship, aligning with conference theme: Our Water, Our Tomorrow.

Showcasing the Blue/Green/Grey Infrastructure Solutions of the Virginia Branch Sewer Augmentation (Cannery Creek) Wet Weather Overflow and Water Quality Offset Project.

This tour will showcase the Cannery Creek project which uses a nutrient offset framework to mitigate impacts of wet weather wastewater overflows and stormwater. It includes a pump station, screens and 2km of rising main in conjunction with two in-stream sediment basins, a 5100m² wetland and two 2800m² bioretention basins. Additional benefits include regeneration of Cannery Creek, provision of walking tracks and addressing local drainage issues. The project was developed in partnership with the community through a co-design process. It is the first time that such a project has been attempted in Queensland with many innovative aspects to be presented.
