Major Works - Overview

Council is undertaking a number of major works projects across the region.

These include:

• The Coffs Harbour Sewerage Strategy which is improving and expanding the sewerage system at a cost of about $250 million up to 2021.
• Construction of the Coffs Coast Resource Recovery Park in partnership with Bellingen and Nambucca Shire Councils and Handybin Waste Services, introducing more sustainable waste management practices which, by 2020, will eliminate the need for landfill by 2020.
• Construction of a state-of-the-art drinking water filtration plant in Upper Orara.
• The $180 million Regional Water Supply Project, which involves linking the Clarence Valley and Coffs Harbour water supplies to meet the forecast demand for water in the region until 2021.
• Council continues to lobby Government with a view to gaining a bypass for the Pacific Highway, which will be in the best interests of the local community and highway travellers.
• The extension of Hogbin Drive to connect to Hogbin Drive North, providing a vital new north-south arterial road for the city. Construction of the Hogbin Drive Extension, Coffs Harbour's "missing link", completed in 2008.
