Noosa wastewater pipes get a clean

Unitywater will inspect and clean wastewater pipes under Hastings Street next week.

Unitywater will inspect and clean wastewater pipes under Hastings Street, Noosa Drive and Park Road in Noosa from Monday 26 February to Friday 1 March.

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

Unitywater executive manager customer delivery Rhett Duncan said these preventative maintenance works are important to the efficient function of Noosa’s wastewater network, helping to reduce the

potential for odour and overflows.

“It has been an intense start to 2024 for some of our wastewater infrastructure, with the bumper tourism numbers of December and extreme wet weather throughout January,” Mr Duncan said.

“As a popular destination for both our community and visitors, we’re taking some time to ensure our network is in its best operational condition to help avoid odour and overflows in high-density areas all

throughout the year.

“Following feedback from council and local residents and businesses, works have been scheduled for a less disruptive time for visitors and businesses.

“We thank the local community for their understanding and patience as we carry out these important works as quickly and safely as possible.”
