Subiaco Wastewater Treatment Plant


The University's development proposal is outside the Subiaco Wastewater Treatment Plant buffer zone.

The University has worked consistently and productively with the Water Corporation to identify issues related to the Wastewater Treatment Plant. The Honourable Donna Faragher MLC, State Minister for Environment consulted with the Water Corporation in making her Ministerial Statement (835).

Support for the development

The Water Corporation has stated that it supports the University's proposed development. 

The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) supports the planned development as documented in their Bulletin 1272 (October 2007):

The University’s proposal for the residential component reflects the above buffer identified for the Subiaco Wastewater Treatment Plant. The EPA accepts that there is sufficient confidence that odour is managed such that residential land use can occur on the proportion of the land identified by the University.
