Construction has started!

The North Head biosolids upgrade project is now in progress. Funding for the project was approved in 2020 and since then, we’ve been working behind the scenes with our delivery partner, Confluence Water, on detailed designs and to prepare for construction.

Construction will be delivered in two phases – phase one between late 2021 and the end of 2024, with the timing of phase two dependent on funding approval for future Sydney Water projects.

As part of phase one, we’re building two new digesters and upgrading equipment to improve how we process biosolids at the North Head Water Resource Recovery Facility.

All construction will take place within the existing North Head facility. Our neighbours in Manly won’t be able to see, smell or hear our work, but may notice more trucks moving equipment, people and materials at different stages of construction.
