Project summary

Unitywater is installing new water infrastructure to meet future demand in a growing community. This important work will mean a continued safe and reliable water service for the Aura community.

Aura is the Sunshine Coast’s most rapidly growing residential and commercial area. The new water infrastructure will help meet the Sunshine Coast’s growing population demands, both now and into the future, including the 15,000 residents who will live in Aura by 2025.

The project is part of Unitywater’s commitment to support emerging communities on the Sunshine Coast by investing in sustainable water and sewerage infrastructure to meet population growth. In doing so, Unitywater will play its part in contributing to future construction industry opportunities at a critical time in our region.

This new infrastructure will ensure the Aura community continues to have safe and reliable water services.

 

 

  • The Aura Water project includes construction of a new water reservoir and installation of 12km of new water pipes from the Ewen Maddock Water Treatment Plant to Aura in Caloundra South.
  • Aura’s water reservoir will be located along the pipeline near the western side of the Bruce Highway, just across from the City of Aura development.
  • Construction is expected to start in early 2023, and be completed by late 2024, weather and construction conditions permitting.
  • Unitywater is undertaking a thorough planning process to ensure the Aura Water project is delivered in an economically and environmentally sustainable way.
  • We will work closely with the local community to keep them informed about the project and reduce any disruption.
