The Gibson Island Alliance is a key component of the Western Corridor Recycled Water (WCRW) project which is managed by WaterSecure on behalf of the Queensland Government. The Gibson Island Alliance includes Baulderstone, MWH Global, Worley Parsons and United Group Infrastructure and is responsible for the design, procurement, construction, and commissioning of the Gibson Island AWTP.
The Gibson Island AWTP is unique to Australia due to the application of combined technologies involving micro-filtration, reverse osmosis membrane and UV and is the largest AWTP in the Southern Hemisphere.
Located at Murrarie, East Brisbane on the southern side of the Gateway Bridge, the Gibson Island AWTP is aimed at alleviating pressure on South East Queensland’s existing dams and waterways by providing an alternate water supply for industry, power generation and end users in the SEQ region.
The project team carefully monitors the environmental and social aspects of the project to minimise its impact on the surrounding environment including the sensitive aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems in the nearby Brisbane River and Moreton Bay
