Land-based treatment consists of two primary lagoons and a small maturation lagoon.
Treated effluent is used to irrigate woodlots on the site.
On average 270 kilolitres of sewage is received each day. The majority of Australia's sewage is generated on the eastern and south-eastern seaboard of the continent due primarily to demographics. Due to the close proximity of these areas to the coast, most of Australia's treated sewage has been being discharged to the waterways and ocean environment. Growing concern of water resources shortages, environmental protection and conservation in general has lead to more stringent control by regulating bodies. Many inland towns also contribute to considerable treated sewage production, however these are often more restricted in terms of disposal.
