Project overview
Hunter Water's Belmont Desalination Plant will provide the Lower Hunter with a permanent, rainfall-independent source of drinking water. The 30-megalitre-per-day seawater reverse-osmosis plant includes an ocean intake and transfer pipeline, onshore pumping and treatment infrastructure, residuals discharge and connections to the existing water network. John Holland is the principal design and construction contractor.
