Help shape the future of wastewater treatment in Cardwell

We are seeking feedback from Cardwell residents, property owners and business owners/operators to better understand community interest in the potential future expansion of a sewerage network into Cardwell.

This is an early-stage survey. No decisions have been made.

Your feedback will help inform Council's next steps, including whether further investigation, detailed planning and funding opportunities should be explored.

Why are we asking?

A future sewerage network could support Cardwell's long-term growth, housing, tourism and infrastructure needs. However, projects of this scale also involve significant costs and require careful consideration of community priorities.

Council recognises there are both opportunities and challenges to consider and wants to hear from residents, ratepayers and businesses before any future decisions are made.

Your feedback will help us understand:

  • Whether there is support for Council to undertake further planning and investigations.
  • Your current wastewater system and property circumstances.
  • Potential benefits, concerns and priorities for the community.
  • Views on costs, service charges and future infrastructure investment.
  • What matters most to you when considering the future of wastewater infrastructure in Cardwell.
