Oaklands Wetland

We’re happy to announce we have engaged the services of Bardavcol Pty Ltd for civil & landscaping, Alano Water for mechanical & electrical and SADB Directional Drilling for the distribution network.

A Ground Breaking Ceremony was held on site on Monday 26 November to launch the project. We also held a community information session on Thursday, 29 November at 6.30pm to discuss how construction will be managed and how noise, dust, security and access will be considered during construction.

A fact sheet with questions and answers has been developed based on what we heard from the community.
