BULLARA STATION WATER MANAGEMENT PROJECT
This funding is for stage one of a two-stage project. Stage one is to install a modulated water treatment plant. On-site work will be pad and footing install and a 100m underground power line, plumbing connections and additional supply and feed tanks. The plant can then be connected into the existing main water supply. Stage one will include the install of a wastewater bio pond. This entails earth works and pond liner install along with plumbing. Having the RO plant funded will assist to get results sooner than spreading it over as longer-term cash flow, which will benefit other pastoralists in the region, and being a demonstration site as to how to build drought resilience into the future.
