To recognise the growing needs of the Shire, and provide
appropriate infrastructure and a high level of service.
In
providing these services (Water, Sewerage & Waste Management)
to the Community, the LSC is subject to stringent reporting &
compliance with licence conditions. Your Council is proud of its
record of liaison with the Environmental Protection Agency.
Community
Consultation, via Public Meetings & Workshops, resulted in the
determination of a Two Part Tariff for The Caves & Capricorn
Coast Water Supply Schemes for introduction in the 2002/2003
Budget Year.
A
Strategic Sewerage Plan for Yeppoon was commissioned in 2002, to
determine needs for the next 20 years. A key component of the Plan
will be the re-siting of the Sewerage Treatment Plant. Public
Consultation will follow the release of the final report in early
2003.
The
past year saw the completion of
•
two 4.2 Megalitre concrete reservoirs within the
Cap. Coast Scheme
•
design work to augment the capacity of the
Woodbury Water Treatment Plant
•
the upgrade of the Yeppoon Landfill Site
The
Council encourages the Community to become aware of Water &
Waste issues through The Water Wise Program & through tours of
its facilities on Open days.
