Work will start in April on one of the area’s most significant projects – the Mardi to Warnervale pipeline.
It will boost water supply to the rapidly growing northern suburbs and improve water security for the entire region.
Central Coast Mayor, Lisa Matthews, said the 9km pipeline would also enhance the water transfer capability between Council and Hunter Water, which further improved water security for the two regions, and met Council’s commitment under the Hunter-Central Coast Pipeline Agreement.
Council’s Director, Water and Sewer, Jamie Loader, said the pipeline route would pass through several different environments, including rural land holdings, the outer edge of the residential area of Watanobbi, and along the fringes of the environmentally sensitive Council lands of Porters Creek Wetland.
“Council has spent a lot of time getting the construction techniques and the pipeline route right, talking with the community about the project, ensuring we consider impacts on residents, the environment and the broader community,” he said.
Some of the Council staff and construction team will be available at information sessions on Thursday, March 12, from 3pm to 5pm at Tuggerah Library,Westfield, and on Saturday, March 14, from 2pm to 4pm, at Watanobbi Community Centre, 1 Harrington Close, Watanobbi.
