The offering of a $9.8 million tender for the construction of a water treatment plant at c to Stirloch Pty Ltd., has helped the provision of an additional water supply system to support MidCoast Waters major water program reach another milestone.

The project to build the Nabiac Water Treatment Plant is part of the $34.6 million Nabiac Inland Dune Aquifer Water Supply System program, which will eventually deliver a second water source to the region and support the Manning program.

The Manning program supplies 36,000 consumers in the area from Crowdy Head in the north to Tarbuck Bay in the south.

In offering the contract, MidCoast Water chairperson John Turner said that Stirloch Constructions Pty Ltd was among four shortlisted bidders for the construction of the water treatment plant.

Stirloch finally won the contract after an extensive process to ensure best value and showed capability to deliver the desired result.

Turner said, "The other pleasing news is that the tender assessment process resulted in a reduction in the planned budget for the project in the order of $800,000."

The connection of another water source for this large area will provide security of supply in the event of extended dry weather and back-up in the event of equipment malfunction.

MidCoast Waters general manager Ken Gouldthorp said, "When operational the Nabiac system will allow us to reduce the volume of water we extract from the Manning River during times of low flow, this both improves water security and environmental outcomes for our communities."
