Project overview

The Chelsea Bay/Birkenhead wastewater upgrade project involves the construction of a new wastewater pump station on Colonial Road and a 1.7km wastewater pipeline that will divert the flow of wastewater to the existing Birkdale diversion branch sewer in Highbury.

Once complete, this project will help reduce wastewater overflows into the environment and improve the quality of waterways and beaches such as Chelsea Bay and Little Shoal Bay. The project will allow for additional capacity ensuring that the wastewater network is able to keep up with population growth in Birkenhead, Chatswood and surrounding suburbs.
