Aquatec’s wastewater system design responds directly to capacity constraints identified in Bright and across Alpine Shire, aligning with staged infrastructure upgrades coordinated by North East Water and the Alpine Shire Council.
Unlocking land to serve a large-scale, master-planned residential community
The Bright Valley development, located at 805 Great Alpine Road, will deliver approximately 350 new homes across 40 hectares, incorporating new open spaces and sustainable community design. Critical to the project’s viability has been the planning and installation of advanced wastewater infrastructure, including a dedicated sewer pump station.
Aquatec was the delivery partner, working with Deague Group to provide a complete suite of services for the pump station and storage vessel, including:
- design and construct
- transport to the site
- install and commission
“We especially appreciated the detailed analysis of the SPS construction, highlighting the achieved efficiencies, cost savings, and confirmation that all components met the expected capacity.”

Collaborative planning delivers reliable wastewater infrastructure
Planning for the pump station and associated pipeline alignments involved site investigations along Great Alpine Road and internal road reserves, ensuring integration with other community services and minimal disruption to existing landscapes.
Detailed hydraulic calculations supported this process to determine optimal pump sizing, pipeline diameters, and flow velocities, ensuring reliable system performance and compliance with design standards.
The new sewer infrastructure enables staged home construction without risking environmental compliance or local amenity, supporting sustainable growth and economic development in the iconic Bright Valley.
It facilitates greater community resilience and aligns with North East Water’s objectives for capacity, reliability, and environmental protection, particularly the safeguarding of the Ovens River and regional recreation zones.
The project’s collaborative planning process, involving contractors, council, utility providers, and the community, resulted in a robust, future-proofed infrastructure system positioned to handle both current needs and forecasted regional expansion.
