Operating since 2009, the desalination plant plays a vital role in the SEQ Water Grid, supplying drinking water across the region. As a climate-resilient water source, the plant ramps up production during droughts, floods, or when conventional water treatment plants are offline. Using advanced reverse osmosis technology, the facility can produce up to 133 million litres of drinking water daily—that’s more than 50 Olympic-sized swimming pools!
The tour followed the desalination process from the point of sea water intake to water ready to be delivered to homes and businesses. At the end of the tour, visitors were able to taste the water from the plant.
