Description
This is a rare opportunity to get behind the scenes of one of Melbourne’s most significant public assets, currently treating over 40% of Melbourne’s total sewage. Melbourne Water’s Eastern Treatment Plant at Bangholme was opened in 1975 to serve Melbourne's growing population. The plant, considered one of the most sophisticated large-scale sewage treatment facilities in the world, sits on 1,100 hectares and treats about 380 million litres of sewage a day. By touring this significant asset, you will gain a better understanding of: the history of the plant including construction and design; the sewage treatment process; the way the plant operates to continuously improve, delivering significant benefits for the environment and community; Melbourne’s urban water cycle; and insight into the values and priorities of Melbourne Water as an organisation.
