Morayfield Wastewater Network Capacity Upgrade Project (Stage 1)

Project background

Unitywater is committed to supporting communities in the Moreton Bay region by investing in sustainable wastewater services.

The Morayfield Wastewater Network Upgrade Project will help meet the needs of more than 26,000 residents who are expected to move to the Morayfield South Central Development Area in coming years.

About the project

The Morayfield Wastewater Network Capacity Upgrade Project (Stage One) includes installing approximately three kilometres of new pipeline, as well as major upgrades to two existing pump stations located on Coach Road West and Buchanan Road. The upgrades will improve the wastewater network’s overall reliability by reducing reactive and operational issues, increasing pipe capacity, and reducing the risk of wastewater overflows.

Detailed design for the project was completed in mid-2024, followed by preliminary works in June 2025. These early works included geotechnical investigations, as well as arborist and flora and fauna assessments.

Our delivery partner, Downer, along with their subcontractors, will mobilise to site in January 2026, with construction expected to commence in late January. The project is anticipated to take up to 18 months to complete, with completion expected around mid-2027, subject to weather and site conditions.

Throughout the delivery of the project, Unitywater, with the support of Downer, will keep the local community informed of progress and any upcoming activities.

Details

Morayfield Wastewater Network Capacity Upgrade (Stage 1) is now mobilising to site in preparation for construction to commence in late January 2026. Construction is expected to be completed by mid-2027.

Unitywater is committed to minimising environmental impacts and reducing the need to clear vegetation where possible. Areas that must be cleared for the upgrade, native revegetation will be delivered as part of the project.

By upgrading the wastewater network, Unitywater will continue to meet the needs of the growing region, improve overall system reliability, and reduce the risk of wastewater overflows.
