Upgrade Updates
03 December 2021
A number of improvement projects across the Shire are nearing completion.
Despite challenges of drought and wet weather conditions over the last 12 months, and the restrictions imposed by COVID-19, the new Warren Sewerage Treatment Works is now complete and awaiting an EPA licence.
This $6.1M project was 50% funded through Infrastructure NSW’s Restart program.
As part of the wider Warren Airport upgrade project, final work is underway for the construction of a new terminal building and the remaining drainage structures. The $2.28M project included resurfacing of the two runways, additional refuelling facilities and improvements for the overall safety and comfort for pilots, passengers, the Royal Flying Doctor and Air Ambulance services.
The Warren Airport Upgrade is funded through the NSW Government’s Drought Stimulus Package.
Construction of new amenities for Warren CBD and Lions Park will soon be underway to ensure the community has access to safe, clean and convenient facilities in these areas.
The Warren Sporting and Cultural Centre is receiving a ‘roof-lift’ with work underway to replace flashing and guttering to prevent water ingress during extensive rain events in the future.
Lastly, work is continuing to improve town services across the Shire with several projects underway. This includes installation of telemetry to all water extraction point meters to comply with Water NSW requirements. Ryan Mason Engineering is carrying out upgrades to the Oxley Park River Water Pumping Station and Xylem Water Technologies are completing works to upgrade the Gunningbar Estate and Nevertire Sewerage Pumping Stations.
