Wastewater Treatment and Recycling
Situated adjacent to the Yarra River and Port Phillip Bay, Fishermans Bend is a 430-hectare urban renewal area of Melbourne, planned to be Australia's largest Green Star community. Multiple government stakeholders have collaborated on this project to set a new standard for sustainable and resilient urban transformation projects.
