A leak in the outfall was discovered in 2018, 700m offshore at a point where the pipe was joined, followed by another closer to shore in April 2020. Since then, Council has monitored the environment, planned repairs to be undertaken by a specialist diver team, and applied for a variation to the existing wastewater discharge consent to enable an ongoing discharge at the 700m mark until the leak is fully repaired or the outfall is replaced.
Our solutions to fix these leaks were modified after the specialist diver team working on the project was able to take a closer look on site. Repairs to the leaks took longer than expected as the bespoke planned solutions’ design had to be modified and then manufactured. Weather also played a factor in the repairs taking longer than expected.
We will now continue to develop our plans for the outfall pipe’s replacement.
