Aura Wastewater Project

Unitywater is investing in new wastewater infrastructure to meet future demand in a growing community. This important work will mean a continued safe and reliable wastewater service for the Aura community.

The new wastewater infrastructure will help meet the Sunshine Coast’s growing population demands, both now and into the future, including the 50,000 residents who will live in Aura by 2050.

The project is part of Unitywater’s commitment to support emerging communities on the Sunshine Coast by investing in sustainable water and wastewater infrastructure to meet population growth. In doing so, Unitywater will play its part in contributing to future construction industry opportunities at a critical time in our region.

Unitywater will continue to upgrade and invest in wastewater infrastructure in a sustainable way to meet the demands of our growing region.

Project Details:

  • The Aura Wastewater Project will include construction of a new sewer pump station and installation of 12.5kms of new wastewater pipeline to transfer wastewater to our Kawana Wastewater Treatment Plant from Aura in Caloundra South.
  • Construction commenced in mid 2023 and is expected to be completed by late 2026, weather and construction conditions permitting.
  • Together, with our construction partner McConnell Dowell, we will work closely with the local community to keep them informed about the project and reduce any disruption.

Kawana Forest Bushland Reserve is Back Open!

We are excited to share that the Kawana Forest Bushland Reserve officially reopened to the community at the end of October 2025.

After ongoing works to construct the Aura wastewater pipeline, this beloved reserve is once again ready for walkers, joggers, cyclists, and nature lovers to enjoy.

Heads up: We will need to temporarily close the reserve again in early 2026 for several months. The reason for the temporary closure is to enable us to connect the wastewater pipeline into the Kawana Wastewater Treatment Plant.

We will keep you informed with any changes to reserve access.

Thankyou to our patient and understanding community for your support during the construction of this vital wastewater pipeline infrastructure.
