Larrakeyah outfall closure plan

The Power and Water Corporation is undertaking a program of works to allow the closure of the Larrakeyah sewage outfall by the 2011, in accordance with the requirements of its wastewater discharge licence. The works are part of Power and Water’s broader Darwin Region Sewerage Strategy that aims to:

  • provide capacity for a growing population and industry base;
  • improve the performance of the region’s wastewater treatment and disposal facilities;
  • reduce potential impacts on the environment from sewerage operations.

The Larrakeyah Outfall Closure Plan project will support the elimination of untreated sewage discharges to the Darwin Harbour. The plan will ensure that all sewage discharged to Power and Water’s sewerage systems is treated prior to eventual discharge to the environment.
