Lower Molonglo Water Quality Control Centre renewal projects
Our wastewater treatment plant has served Canberra’s needs for decades, but some of our assets are approaching end of life and elements of the treatment process are nearing capacity.
We have a responsibility to protect our environment and continue providing high-quality wastewater services to our community. To do this we need to upgrade, or replace, elements of our treatment process.
Our plans include two significant projects for our primary wastewater treatment plant, Lower Molonglo Water Quality Control Centre (LMWQCC). The first project is focused on our bioreactors and the other targets biosolids.
For more information about why these projects are important, follow the links below.

A before and after for our bioreactor project
The images below can give you an idea of how our bioreactor project might change the Lower Molonglo Water Quality Control Centre's layout.
The image on your left shows our facility as it currently exists, and the one on your right shows how it might look once the bioreactor is complete.
