Westfield septage treatment plant

Last updated: November 25, 1993

In March 1988 the Health Department of Western Australia, the proponent, requested that the waste receival time on Saturday at the Westfield Treatment Plant be changed from 9.00 am to 12.00 noon to 7am to 4.00pm.

The facility will enable the proper treatment of this material, and the discharge to sewer of the liquid effluent. This will obviate the current methods of disposal which are not environmentally acceptable, and which may give rise to odours. Read more...
