Through the Western Corridor Recycled Water Scheme, Seqwater’s Luggage Point Advanced Water Treatment Plant provides purified recycled water to industrial customers for electricity production. 

The Western Corridor Recycled Water Scheme also remains an important drought supply asset, which can be considered as a drinking water supply during a severe drought. 

The tour will follow key stages of the treatment process: membrane filtration, reverse osmosis, ultraviolet advanced oxidation, and disinfection, with commentary on how each stage works and its scientific foundations.

Sunwater’s Rocklea Hydraulics Laboratory is the largest of its kind in the southern hemisphere. Having been operational since 1977, the facility enables detailed physical modelling of hydraulic structures, the testing of scale models before their projects commence full-scale construction. 

Currently the laboratory instrumentation is capable of measuring water levels, velocities, and static and transient pressures. Further, our laboratory facilities provide for moulding, machining and fabrication in timber, acrylic, metals and other materials for instrumentation and hydraulic models.

Unitywater’s Wamuran Irrigation Scheme (WIS) ushers in a new era for the region’s water security, economy, and environment. 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.
