Water Vision 2071

Water Vision 2071 is a plan for water and wastewater services over the next 50 years, to support growth forecasts and address key challenges for the Region.

We have a variety of feasible options from which to choose to ensure a reliable water system for the future. Reliable ongoing water systems will require the continued and increased use of existing water sources for both the Toowoomba Bulk Water Supply and regional systems.

Key upgrades and projects

  • 2024 - Increase water treatment plant capacity.
  • 2027 - Increase allocation from Wivenhoe.
  • By 2027 - Secure water supply to Cambooya, Greenmount, Nobby & Clifton via the Toowoomba to Warwick Pipeline.
  • 2032 - Increase pumping capacity from Cressbrook.
  • 2040 - Upgrade Wivenhoe pumps & increase allocation.
  • From mid-2040 - the introduction of a new water source or a major investment in new infrastructure from Wivenhoe Dam will be required for the Toowoomba Bulk Water Supply.
  • Late 2040s - Alternate water supply or addition allocation, pipe and pumps from Wivenhoe.
