At Unitywater, we're a local organisation that not only delivers essential 24/7 water and sewerage services but also has a focus on the region's bigger picture. That's why we're investing in infrastructure for the future and supporting community and environmental activities to enhance and protect our Sunshine Coast region.
Here's a snapshot of some key activities we're working on.

Restoring wetlands at Yandina Creek
We’ve taken the first steps in an environmental journey to improve and sustain the health of the Maroochy River. Taking a 190 hectare site and transforming it not only into a reserve for plants, fish and birdlife but also into a natural solution for trapping sediment and nutrients, will have benefits now and into the future.
Read more about the wetlands.
Upgrading the Kawana Sewage Treatment Plant (STP)
The major upgrade to this plant, located in the centre of a growth corridor, is designed to not only prepare well in advance for forecast population increases but also to generate its own electricity from the reuse of biogas. This on-site electricity generation supports our sustainability efforts and helps reduce operating costs.
Completing the Caloundra sewerage upgrade
From replacing kilometres of major sewer mains to upgrading the performance of sewage pump stations, this work means our network is built to cope with the demands of our growing Caloundra community.
