Reducing stormwater in the sewer

Working towards sustainable solutions for reducing stormwater in the sewerage system (inflow and infiltration) in Mullumbimby.

Additional Flow Path Byron Bay Sewage Treatment Plant

Byron Shire Council is investing $1.5 million towards a drainage upgrade in the Byron Arts and Industry Estate, aimed at improving water management in the Belongil catchment while providing better access to the industrial area.

Spanning 2.3 kilometres, the project will also include the construction of a new shaded pathway, cycleway and 14-metre long pedestrian bridge.

Smart Water Meters

We are running a pilot project to trial Smart Water Meters in the Byron Shire.

Approximately 400 smart water meters are being installed on residential and commercial properties in East Mullumbimby and selected bulk recycled water clients in Byron Bay. The installation will be complete by the end of 2021.

The trial will run throughout 2022 and will provide hourly water consumption data
