Gold Coast Desalination Project
In June 2008 the State Government purchased Gold Coast City Council’s shares in the Gold Coast Desalination Project which is now owned by Water Secure (whose sole shareholder is the Queensland Government).
The Gold Coast Desalination Project is part of Council’s Gold Coast Waterfuture Strategy and the State’s South East Queensland Regional Drought Strategy Contingency Supply Plan.
The Gold Coast Desalination Project meets both local and regional needs and plans to provide a water source to South East Queensland in early 2009. The project is a critical element of future water supply planning, as it does not rely on climatic conditions.
