Securing Goulburn’s water supply has meant that public swimming pools can stay open permanently and has provided residents with additional opportunities to participate in recreational and sporting activities. This will lead to improved health and an increase in levels of community spirit and enjoyment. In addition, the project has increased business confidence and provided greater predictability across all businesses and industries.
Delivering Critical Infrastructure.
The Highlands Source Project involved the Design and Construction of an 80 km pipeline and pump station between Wingecarribee Reservoir and Goulburn, NSW. The project impacted 150 properties, numerous public roads and river crossings and traversed myriad terrain types and land uses. The $50M project was jointly funded by the Australian Government, NSW Government and Goulburn Mulwaree Council and was a major initiative to secure Goulburn's water supply. The Project was delivered on time and within budget exceeding the expectations of the community and Government. Industry recognition came with an Engineering Excellence award in 2012 in the Engineering for Regional Communities Category.
