Excerpt from the Chronicle:

Bore project a step closer

16 June 2007

Jondaryan Shire Council this week took the next step towards $15 million in works involving the recommissioning of the Oakey bore field and the wastewater treatment plant.

CH2M Hill was awarded the tender for the detail design, construction, supervision and commissioning, with a bid of $928,900, for the Western Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Final design for the plant, at the Nobbs family property south of Wellcamp Downs, is expected to be completed by November. Tenders will then be called for its construction.

Mayor Peter Taylor said the plant would be designed to service Westbrook, Glenvale, Torrington, Cotswold Hills and Charlton-Wellcamp.

"It will be scaleable to accommodate Drayton, in the city confines, if needed," he said.

Eleven submissions for the $6 million bore field project were short-listed back to three.

Amiad, Wendouree and ITT have been asked to tender for design, supply and commissioning.

Cr Taylor said key industries such as Oakey Army Aviation Centre and the abattoir would have allocations.

"So in the future - depending on what Toowoomba does and what the SEQ grid does - we have the opportunity for the future to treat more bore water if necessary," Cr Taylor said.
