The Yulara Water Supply project will construct new water infrastructure to improve the township’s long-term water security. This will enable development in the area which has been limited by Yulara’s existing water infrastructure.
The project is proposed to be delivered in 4 stages:
The Water Infrastructure for Sustainable and Efficient Regions (WISER) initiative will deliver water security outcomes in at least 9 towns across Queensland, including in the Douglas Shire, Cassowary Coast, Longreach, Mareeba and Central Highlands regions.
It is expected that collectively these projects will:
The Water Infrastructure for Sustainable and Efficient Regions (WISER) initiative supports an increase in uptake of recycled water in South Australia to reduce reliance on climate vulnerable water sources including the Murray River.
It is expected that collectively these projects will:
The Water Infrastructure for Sustainable and Efficient Regions (WISER) initiative will deliver water security outcomes across central Tasmania and increase recycled water capacity in the south east.
It is expected that collectively these projects will:
The Water Infrastructure for Sustainable and Efficient Regions (WISER) initiative will deliver water security outcomes across the Surf Coast, Indigo Shire, Bass Coast, East Gippsland, and Warrnambool regions of Victoria.
The package includes innovative solutions such as a nature-based wetland to clean recycled water for productive use, while providing habitat for local species (King Road Recycled Water Wetlands Storage).
It is expected that collectively these projects will:
The Water Infrastructure for Sustainable and Efficient Regions (WISER) initiative will deliver water security outcomes in numerous regions across Western Australia including Albany, Esperance, Jurien Bay and various dryland agricultural regions.
It is expected that these projects will:
The Water Infrastructure for Sustainable and Efficient Regions (WISER) initiative is delivering packages of small-scale water infrastructure projects. These projects will drive more efficient water use and build the capacity of regional communities in an environmentally sustainable way.
This project completed a detailed business case to investigate the merits of constructing a 2-way pipeline and pumping infrastructure. This would connect 2 variable rainfall regions and improve water reliability.
If built, the proposed project would connect 2 headwater water storages, Lostock Dam and Glennies Creek Dam. The objective of the proposed pipeline is to improve the existing system and support the ongoing economic productivity of key industries and water users operating in the Hunter region.
The National Water Grid Connections Pathway enables the quick delivery of targeted water infrastructure projects. As a result, bringing immediate benefits to Australia’s regional communities.
Small-scale infrastructure projects make localised improvements to water outcomes. They can also make nationally significant contributions.
The Warrens Gully System Capacity Upgrade project was funded under the Queensland Connections Pathway.
The Wellington Dam is one of the most significant surface water storages in the South West and Peel region of WA. However, water from the dam can only be used for limited purposes because of high salinity. This is a result of historical land clearing in the catchment, combined with reduced rainfall and stream flows.
In addition, the current water distribution network is old and inefficient. The existing open channel network results in significant water losses across the system.
