Environmental Improvements

In October 2006, the Victorian Government announced a major upgrade of the Eastern Treatment Plant. The upgrade is underway and by end-2012 the plant will be treating sewage to an advanced tertiary standard. This will reduce the impact of treated effluent on the marine environment and make available more recycled water.
