Council is upgrading the main sewer pump station in Barham to improve safety, reliability and long-term service for the community.

Barham Sewer Pump Station 3 is a critical facility that manages the town’s wastewater system. The current structure, built with a dry and wet well design, no longer meets modern safety and maintenance standards.

To address these issues, Council will replace the existing facility with a modern wet well system. This upgrade will provide:

  • Improved safety for staff and contractors by meeting current OH&S and legislative standards
  • Compliance with State and Federal Government directives
  • Better access for maintenance
  • Replacement of ageing infrastructure nearing end of life
  • Greater flexibility to support future community growth.

Detailed design work has been completed, and Council is now progressing into the construction phase, with tenders being assessed to appoint a contractor. Works are expected to begin in mid-2026 and take around four months to complete.

The pump station is located off the laneway between Punt Road and Frank Street. During construction, part of this laneway will be closed for safety reasons. Nearby residents will be contacted directly with more information before works begin.
