The Opportunity

We are providing a more efficient and integrated water system to cater to the growth of NSW and maintain and enhance outstanding environmental outcomes. Our Water team offers services across the full water cycle, delivering major pipelines, large pumping stations, advanced water, wastewater and recycling treatment.
We address critical water cycle challenges and provide solutions through adopting flexible program delivery models and ongoing asset management programs.
