The site of potentially 600 flood-free residential sites off Pineapple Road.
Lismore City Council has delivered a $7 million wastewater project, unlocking development opportunity for up to 600 new housing lots in Goonellabah. Completed in partnership with BASEC Engineering, DGP Water and Ledonne Constructions, the Pineapple Road Sewerage Scheme involved the installation of a new pump station and over four kilometres of pipeline, creating 30 local jobs.
Jointly funded by Lismore City Council ($5.6 million) and the NSW Government under its NSW Regional Housing Fund ($1.4 million), the new sewerage scheme connects to Council’s established network of 46km of rising mains and 332kms of Wastewater (sewer) Gravity Pipes, providing a modern and sustainable wastewater service for the future precinct.
About the project
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:
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.
