Burwood Beach WWTW Stage 2 Upgrade
The Burwood Beach WWTW catchment extends from the Newcastle City area and suburbs to Dudley in the south, Wallsend in the west and Mayfield in the north. The current Burwood Beach WWTW was constructed in 1992 with a design capacity of 220,000 equivalent persons (EP).
A major upgrade is required to rectify process and reliability constraints and to ensure the plant operates sustainably into the future.
The upgrade will be completed in two stages. The Stage 2 Upgrade will ensure the plant can reliably meet the existing licence conditions and operate to its design capacity. The Stage 3 upgrade will provide the longer term sustainable strategy for the plant. Further investigations and consultation are required before a decision on this strategy can be made.
