Pine Valley Water Supply Project

The Pine Valley Water Supply Project will deliver a new 15 megalitre (ML) reservoir along with more than 8 kilometres of water pipelines.

The new infrastructure will deliver a safe and reliable water supply to the growing suburbs of Caboolture West, Morayfield and Narangba and is responding to an expected population growth of more than 100,000 new residents living in the area over the next 20 years.


Project is in construction

Detailed design was completed in late 2024. Construction has now commenced and is expected to be completed by mid-2027. Our delivery partner for this project is Downer.

The new water reservoir will be constructed within Unitywater-owned land off Jacko Place, Morayfield. The underground water pipelines will be constructed along existing road verges and within existing easements on private properties to minimise impact on the natural and built environment. The project team has been working closely with the existing easement property owners throughout the design process.

Unitywater is committed to minimising environmental impacts and reducing the need to clear vegetation where possible. If areas must be cleared to make way for infrastructure, native revegetation will be delivered as part of the project.


Supporting Thriving Communities

The purpose of this project is to enrich the lives of our communities through ensuring the community continues to receive safe, secure, and reliable water services.

Unitywater will continue to sustainably upgrade and invest in water infrastructure to meet the demands of our growing region.

  • Friendly visitors on site

    supporting image

    A Bearded Dragon and Nobbi Dragon were spotted by the project team while completing trenching works and were quickly moved to safety.

    Our crews always keep an eye out for any wildlife that may be in the pathway of our works so that we can keep them safe and out of harms way. Spotting these two curious creatures was another reason for our project's Vegetation and Fauna Management Plan to be put into practice.

    After the brief and friendly visit from our unexpected guests, we were able to release the reptiles back into the environment. Their care and release was overseen by a dedicated fauna specialist.

  • Installing nest boxes

    We've recently installed close to 100 nesting boxes at the project's reservoir site to retain habitat for native owls, cockatoos, brush-tail and ringtail possums, microbats and small gliders.

    There are seven different types of nest boxes. Each type varies in size with different-sized openings to cater for a variety of species at the site. A qualified tree climber selected the safest and most appropriate trees for each nesting box.

    We have established an ongoing maintenance plan and will continue to monitor the boxes; we are excited to see all the different species that find their way into the boxes to call them home.


  • New pipeline installation begins

    We've officially broken ground on the new pipeline installation. Works have started where the existing Energex easement crosses Forest Hills Drive. This marks a critical step forward to ensuring a reliable water supply for the community into the future.

  • Site offices and the project laydown area are now operational

    Following our previous update on the commencement of works for the Pine Valley Water Supply Project in Morayfield, we’re thrilled to share that our site offices and laydown area are officially up and running in Jacko Place, Morayfield! Security cameras and fencing are in place.

  • Meeting with the community

    supporting image

    Our dedicated community engagement manager, Aleisha, has spent the best part of the last two weeks door knocking residents in the area who will be most impacted by works that will be happening within the Energex easement. She has been taking the time to understand their unique property needs, including access requirements and the safety of their pets, and has been explaining what they can expect during construction.

    Aleisha will be their point of contact for the project, so it's been great that she's been able to meet with so many of the residents in person.

    Aleisha is always two steps ahead of the construction schedule making sure that residents are advised well in advance of work beginning in the vicinity of their homes.
