Council building new water reservoir to cater for growth

01 March 2018

Chambers Lookout carpark closed during construction

Council contractors will start work at the end of March to build a new three-megalitre water reservoir at Chambers Lookout, Banora Point, to service existing and future developments in the area.

The Chambers Lookout carpark will be closed until the end of the year for construction.

The new reservoir will provide additional supply capacity for the current and future developments planned for the area, catering for the projected population growth as new houses are occupied.

Local developers have contributed to the $2.2 million cost of the project.

The reservoir will be built on Council-owned land next to the existing Chambers Lookout reservoir near the corner of Terranora Road and Fraser Drive. About 1500 square metres of regrowth vegetation will be removed to allow the new infrastructure to be built.

The new reservoir will be of reinforced concrete construction with an aluminium roof and be built by Stirloch Constructions Pty Ltd.
