The Alkimos Wastewater Scheme
Why did we need a new wastewater treatment plant?
The population growth of Perth's north west corridor from Mindarie northwards is predicted to reach about 150,000 by 2030. The suburb of Alkimos will be the heart of this community. Essential to growth and development in this region is wastewater and water infrastructure.
The wastewater treatment plant will be surrounded by a buffer zone which is nominally of 600 metres. The land is owned by the Water Corporation and is zoned for public purposes.
The infrastructure of the scheme will service the growing population in the north west corridor and take the pressure off existing wastewater treatment plants and pumping stations.
Who completed the works?
An Alliance between the Water Corporation and the private sector was formed in December 2006 for the design and construction of the Alkimos Wastewater Treatment Scheme.
The Alkimos Water Alliance is a commercial venture involving the Water Corporation and a joint venture between Brookfield Multiplex, Macmahon Contractors and Zublin.
The Alliance brings together experts in the fields of engineering, procurement, construction and management. The Alliance is also responsible for working with community members and stakeholders until the completion of the works.
Works completed include:
Community Presentations
Joondalup Reception Centre - 8 August 2005
The Waterfront in Mindarie - 16 November 2004
