Project Target Status Commentary
IN6.2.1 - Loganholme Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Stage 8. Beenleigh WWTP Close June 2024 Completed At the end of the 2023/2024 financial year, scheduled works for the project have been delivered to complete critical Stage 8 upgrades to the Loganholme Waste Water Treatment Plant.

The Stage 8 upgrade will be operational with the diversion of flows from the number 3 oxidation ditch.

Highlights of the year's achievements include completion of the following:
  • fine screens and associated infrastructure 
  • bioreactor (two trains) and associated structure, including a flow selector, bioselector, anaerobic, anoxic and aeration zones
  • membranes (four trains of nine installed membrane modules with provision for one additional membrane per train) and associated infrastructure
  • blower room housing blowers for the bioreactor and membrane tanks and air compressors
  • switchroom housing switchboards, control panels and a SCADA workstation
  • chemical storage and dosing systems including sodium hypochlorite and citric acid
  • new outfall pipeline and headwall structure
  • general purpose pump station for plant drainage and wastewater flows
  • two standby emergency generators
  • new power supply connection from Energex including construction of remote monitoring unit, installation of high voltage power supply cables and two power distribution transformers.
 The project has now reached a stage of practical completion.
IN6.2.2 - Water and Wastewater Capital Works Program June 2024 Completed At the end of the 2023/2024 financial year, all projects and renewal programs on the Water and Wastewater Capital Works Program scheduled for construction completion have been delivered.

A total value of $130.2 million was delivered over the financial year against an approved budget of $182.0 million. 

The variance is due to delayed construction commencement on a number of identified wastewater projects in Logan South due to extended time frames for environmental approvals (Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act) and easement acquisitions.  These projects were subsequently commenced after approvals were obtained, with progression to completion in 2024/2025 as scheduled. 

Commencement of sustanability projects which involved solar were also put on hold pending Council's Energy Request for Proposal process (RFP).  Construction commencement of the new Logan Water Depot at Loganholme was held off to allow for increased climate resiliency in the design, and construction has now commenced. 

Some highlights of the year's achievements include completion of the following projects and renewals programs:
  • Rai Drive (Crestmead) Wastewater Pump Station and Conveyance
  • Loganholme Wastewater Treatment Plant Stage 8 Upgrade
  • Alfred Street Wastewater Pump Station Emergency Equipment
  • PH Monitoring and Control (Woodhill) Project
  • Nestor Drive (Loganlea) DN375 Pipeline Renewal
  • Seqwater Booster Water Pump Station and Pressure Reducing Valves Installation
