Read the full storyOn the 15th of January, the Cassowary Coast Regional Council, together with representatives from the Australian and Queensland Governments, officially opened the Port Hinchinbrook (Cardwell) Sewerage Treatment Plant (STP). The event was attended by representatives from all levels of government, including Cassowary Coast Mayor Teresa Millwood, Division 1 Councillor Chris Littlemore, Senator Anthony Chisholm, and Member for Mulgrave Terry James, representing the Deputy Premier.
Nick Dametto MP, Member for Hinchinbrook, praised the collaborative effort behind the project, which addresses significant environmental concerns.
“The STP in Cardwell has been years in the making and is a testament to what can be achieved when all levels of government work together,” Mr. Dametto said.
“Before this, untreated sewage overflowed into the Great Barrier Reef, an issue no government could ignore.”
The $19.3 million project, delivered on time and on budget by Haslin Constructions, was funded by $6 million from the Federal Government and $13.3 million from the State Government, including a critical $7 million shortfall secured late last year.
Mr. Dametto also thanked the Hon. Bob Katter MP for securing federal funding and residents for their support in lobbying for the project.
“This is a turning point for Port Hinchinbrook,” Mr. Dametto added. “It addresses an environmental crisis, boosts liveability, and supports the region’s growth.”
The completion of the $19.3 million sewerage treatment plant marks a significant milestone in the ongoing development and normalisation of Port Hinchinbrook. This project is the final stage in the normalisation process, addressing the estate's privately owned infrastructure, which includes roads, culverts, and pump stations.
