Table 9-6 Social and Environmental Aspects of the Medium to Long Term<br />

Opportunities for Nelligen<br />

Opportunities Social Environmental<br />

Improved management of existing<br />

water supply<br />

Harvested roof water supplemented<br />

with reticulated water from the regional<br />

scheme<br />

Provision of full reticulated water<br />

system from the regional scheme<br />

Improved management of existing onsite<br />

facilities<br />

Enhanced management of existing onsite<br />

facilities<br />

Centralised<br />

management of<br />

effluent from onsite<br />

facilities<br />

Local treatment<br />

and management<br />

Transfer to<br />

Batemans Bay<br />

system<br />

Reduces demands for water and<br />

increases security<br />

Increases public awareness of<br />

water conservation issues<br />

Decreases public health risks<br />

and increases security<br />

Eliminates the need to import<br />

water<br />

<strong>Water</strong> for potable uses would<br />

meet the Australian Drinking<br />

<strong>Water</strong> Guidelines<br />

Decreases public health risk and<br />

increases security<br />

Eliminates the need to import<br />

water<br />

Provision available for fire<br />

fighting purposes<br />

Short term inconvenience for<br />

residents during construction,<br />

i.e. noise, vehicle movement<br />

<strong>Water</strong> for potable uses would<br />

meet the Australian Drinking<br />

<strong>Water</strong> Guidelines<br />

Associated odour and noise<br />

impacts<br />

Inconvenience of pumpout<br />

trucks in the area<br />

Improves air quality and visual<br />

character<br />

Enhances aesthetic appeal for<br />

the local area, good for tourism<br />

and recreational activities<br />

Solution would be tailored to<br />

match local requirements<br />

Limited additional infrastructure<br />

required<br />

Lower cost than conventional<br />

gravity<br />

Existing resources can be<br />

utilised<br />

More conservative/efficient<br />

water use<br />

Incorporates sustainable use of<br />

water resources<br />

Increases pressure on regional<br />

water sources<br />

Less pressure on local<br />

environments, however<br />

increases pressure on regional<br />

water sources<br />

Increases runoff, which may<br />

result in increased pollutant<br />

loads entering the environment<br />

Possible environmental impact<br />

during construction<br />

Improves environmental<br />

outcomes, minimises the<br />

incidence of septic effluent<br />

contaminating local waterways<br />

Reduces impact to local<br />

waterways and the environment<br />

Less overall environmental<br />

impacts than conventional<br />

gravity systems<br />

Less overall environmental<br />

impacts than conventional<br />

gravity systems<br />

Possible environmental impact<br />

during construction<br />

May allow for regional reuse<br />
