BECAUSE WATER MATTERS
Planning for the Sunbury and Macedon Ranges region
Western Water’s Water Plan 2013-2018 came into effect on July 1. The Plan sets out our prices, service standards and capital works over the next five years. In Sunbury and the Macedon Ranges we will be investing around $80 million to meet the needs of our growing population. Major projects include upgrading the Sunbury Recycled Water Plant, completing the Gisborne Recycled Water Scheme and constructing a pipeline to link Lancefield to the wider drinking water supply network.
