Waraba (Caboolture West) Wastewater Network

Project summary

In March 2021, the Queensland Government announced the Neighbourhood Development Plan area No. 1 (NDP1) as the first development area within Waraba to manage growth in the rapidly growing corridor north of Brisbane.

NDP1 is approximately 266 hectares in area and is bounded by the Caboolture River to the north and west, Caboolture River Road to the south and existing suburban residential areas to the east. It will support a new urban community with a range of housing options with walkable neighbourhoods, local parks, a shopping district, sporting fields and new schools.

To support the development of NDP1, Unitywater and Killard Tallai Joint Venture will deliver the Waraba (Caboolture West) Wastewater Network project, which includes:

• A new Wastewater Pumping Station, located within the development area west of Crabapple Court.
• Approximately 4.5 kilometres of new wastewater pipeline. The underground pipeline extends from the pumping station west of Crabapple Court, east through existing developed areas to a location on Walkers Road.
• This chosen alignment minimises environmental and residential disruption, while meeting essential project outcomes.

Planning and construction

To obtain the appropriate approvals to undertake this work, Unitywater participated in a rigorous planning process, working closely with Traditional Owners, various environmental groups, Queensland Government and Council to address potential disruptions along the pipeline alignment, in particular impacts to the local environment and potential short-term issues relating to construction.
