Pine Valley Water Supply Project
Project Purpose
The Pine Valley Water Supply Project includes construction of a new 15ML reservoir in Unitywater-owned land off Jacko Place in Morayfield, as well as 4.5 kilometres of inlet pipelines and 3.6 kilometres of outlet 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.
Construction and Delivery
Detailed design was completed in late 2024. Construction is commencing from early 2025 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. Our team has been working closely with the existing easement property owners throughout the design process.
We understand that local fauna and flora are highly valued by the community. There will be tree and vegetation removal within the work site to allow for the construction of the new assets, however this has been minimised as much as practical. All vegetation clearing activities will be monitored and approved by a qualified fauna spotter a representative of the Kabi Kabi people. Native revegetation works will also be undertaken at the reservoir site as part of our restoration works.

Meeting with the community
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.
