| Strategic purpose |
To facilitate residential development by investigating, designing and constructing essential wastewater infrastructure, including the establishment of a new sewage pump station and installation of a pumped sewer pipeline |
The Pineapple Road Precinct, situated northeast of Lismore city, is designated for residential development. In anticipation of this growth, the Council is tasked with investigating, designing and constructing essential wastewater infrastructure.
The project encompasses:
- Establishment of a new sewage pump station just north of the urban precinct.
- Installation of a pumped sewer pipeline linking the new pump station to the existing gravity truck sewer main at Northcott Drive.
The completed sewage pumping station will resemble a small grey structure above ground, akin to the size of a house slab. All pumping operations will occur underground, facilitated by a 5m deep wet well. Additionally, the pump station will feature activated carbon filters to effectively mitigate potential odours.
