Byron Bay Additional Flow Path - A drainage upgrade project
Part of the Byron Arts and Industry Precinct Plan,
currently open for public submissions.
The Additional Flow Path is a drainage upgrade project to better manage treated water from the Byron Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) and stormwater flows across the Belongil Catchment area.
The proposed additional flow path will use public drainage land within the Byron Arts and Industry Estate. New pipeline will be required from the Byron STP to the Industrial Drain. Green areas will be created as part of the public drainage upgrade.
Location
The Additional Flow Path stretches over 2.3km in length. It extends from the Byron Bay Wetlands (at the STP), diagonally south-east across the Byron Industrial Estate (using the Industrial Drain corridor) and continues to Ewingsdale Road. It rejoins the Central Drain at the southern end of Belongil Creek.
Current stage
The project is currently in the detailed design and tender process for construction of the Additional Flow Path.
Council is inviting feedback from the community, and specifically, adjacent businesses and residents, prior to construction. Contributions and feedback on this project will be evaluated and incorporated into planning for the next stage.
