Unitywater is cleaning and inspecting Noosa’s sewerage pipes following all the extra flushes over the holiday period.

These important maintenance works will occur on Hastings St, Noosa Drive and Park Road from Monday 14 to Thursday 17 February.

Visitors and motorists can expect some traffic delays between 6am and 6pm as Unitywater crews carry out pressure-cleaning and CCTV inspection of the sewer mains, one section at a time.

Unitywater Executive Manager Customer Delivery Rhett Duncan said this preventative maintenance was important to maintain Noosa’s sewers.

“As a high-profile tourist destination, we want to ensure that our sewerage network is in top operating condition for the peak times during the year,” Mr Duncan said.

“These works will help avoid odours and the potential for sewage overflows. We have consulted with various stakeholders and Noosa Council to carry out the works at the least disruptive time for visitors and businesses.

“We thank the local community for their understanding and apologise for any inconvenience as we carry out these works.”

Crews will be adhering to covid guidelines and taking precautions to help protect them and the community.
