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 69,000 residents who will live in Aura by 2055.

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 water supply infrastructure in a sustainable way to meet the demands of our growing region.
