Our Aurora Treatment Plant at Wollert

Our Aurora Treatment Plant site at Wollert is home to a range of water, sewerage, renewable energy and community facilities. They provide services and benefits for people in Melbourne's growing north. 

You can find out more about many of the activities at our Wollert site by visiting web pages below:

• Wollert Sewage Treatment Plant and Recycled Water Facility

  We’re planning to upgrade our recycled water treatment plant to service new homes and people who’ll move into area over coming years. The new facility will be a 10 million litre a day recycled water facility.

• ReWaste, Victoria's first food waste to energy facility

  Our first food waste to energy facility has been operating since 2017. Commercial food waste producers, such as markets or food manufacturers, deliver 33,000 tonnes of food waste every year. The facility can produce around 22,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per day, the equivalent power demand of around 1,300 homes.

• Whittlesea Community Farm

  We’re working with Whittlesea Community Connections to create a new community farm. The Whittlesea Community Farm will be a place for the local community to connect, learn and prosper through environmental and agricultural activities. 

• Hydrogen green electricity pilot

  As part of our commitment to innovate to tackle the challenges of climate change, we’re piloting a green hydrogen production facility. This will help us understand the potential to produce ‘green’ renewable hydrogen as a clean source of energy to power homes, vehicles and industry.
