Consultation has concluded

The Pineapple Road Precinct is an area zoned for residential development and is located to the north-east of the city of Lismore. To service future development, Council is required to investigate, design and construct critical wastewater (sewer) infrastructure.

The project is being funded by Section 64 Contributions (developer contributions) and NSW Government, NSW Regional Housing Fund, and includes:

  • A new sewage pump station to be located immediately north of the urban precinct.
  • A pumped sewer pipeline connecting the new pump station to Council's existing gravity truck sewer main at Northcott Drive

Above ground, the completed sewage pumping station will look like a small grey structure, about the size of a house slab. All of the pumping happens underground, with a 5m deep wet well. The pump station will be equipped with activated carbon filters to drastically reduce any potential odour.

The community are encouraged to ask questions through the Q & A function on this page.

    No, the scheme is only intended to service Pineapple Road Residential Precinct. 

  • Share Will the developer of proposed subdivision at 1a and 1b Northcott Drive be asked to contribute to the cost of this project. He will undoubtedly benefit from this sewage line which runs along side his proposed subdivision. Council ratepayers should not be subsidising his development costs. on Facebook Share Will the developer of proposed subdivision at 1a and 1b Northcott Drive be asked to contribute to the cost of this project.

    Dennis Thomson asked over 2 years ago

    The concept design submitted for the DA at 1A and 1B Northcott Dr (not yet determined), provides for a pressure sewer system i.e. their sewer connection/scheme is independent of the of the proposed Project works.

    Projects of this nature (that service new developments) are paid for from Section 64 contributions (developer contributions) – they are not subsidised by general residential rates.
