The Sydney Chapter invite you to their site visit to Bondi Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The Bondi Sewage Treatment Plant was the first sewage treatment plant attached to a major ocean outfall sewer in NSW and the first connected to a deep ocean outfall in Australia. It was the largest sewage treatment plant in Australia at the time of its construction and was comparable in size with large overseas plants. It was the first treatment plant located underground in tunnels and chambers excavated from solid sandstone. The underground works are impressive and a rare example of the installation of extensive processing facilities in an excavated underground situation. The Bondi plant contains a representative set of sewage treatment equipment and processes related to deep water ocean disposal and its continued evolution illustrates the continual development and expansion of those treatment processes in the latter half of the 20th century. The Bondi Sewage Treatment Plant is associated with the continued evolution of the Sydney sewage system overall and is closely associated with earlier sewerage works such as the Bondi sewer, which were a major step in the 19th century to improve the standard of public health in central Sydney. The Bondi Sewage Treatment Plant, owing to its association with Bondi Beach, is symbolic of sewage treatment in Sydney.
