Council staff say they are set to commence year-long remediation works this week at the former South Byron Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) in Suffolk Park.
The works involve excavating and capping soils and contaminated material in a consolidated buffer zone and planting a nature corridor on the site to make it safe for potential future redevelopment and use.
‘This site has a very interesting history, having hosted night cart operations from 1909 until 1972 when the STP was built and began operations,’ Council’s Manager of Assets & Major Projects, Phil Warner said.
