Aura Water Project

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

The new water 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.

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

Project Details:

  • The Aura Water Project includes construction of a new water reservoir and installation of 12kms of new water pipeline from the Ewen Maddock Water Treatment Plant to Aura in Caloundra South.
  • Aura’s water reservoir will be located on the western side of the Bruce Highway, just across from the Aura development.
  • Construction is due to be completed in late 2026, weather and construction conditions permitting.
