Eurobodalla Integrated Water Cycle Management Strategy
The Village Landscape
Mogo is an historic village located on the Princes Highway between Batemans Bay and
Moruya (see Figure 9-7 below).
Figure 9-7 Mogo Topographic Map
The 2001 census recorded 223 people in Mogo and 110 dwellings. The 1996 housing
monitor stated there were 56 vacant lots in Mogo, with an annual demand of 3 lots. This
analysis indicates that there will be a land shortage in the village by 2015. However,
comparison of the 1996 and 2001 census shows that the number of private dwellings and
the population in the collection district did not change significantly between the two census.
Therefore, the water demands from residential properties have been assumed not to
increase over time. It is assumed that commercial properties will increase at a rate
comparable with the overall population growth.
Existing Water Management Systems
The town is fed by the Mogo reservoir through the supply scheme. The reservoir has
sufficient capacity to cope with the expected 2032 peak day demand of 510 kL/d. The
sewage from the village is treated at the Tomakin STP.
According to the GIS, there are 36 stormwater pits and 4.7 km of pipeline in Mogo. Due to
the town population being less than 1 000 there is no requirement for a stormwater
management plan. Stormwater drains to McLeods and Mogo creeks. An annual estimated
948 kL/a of stormwater is generated in Mogo containing 1 137kg/a of nitrogen and 152kg/a
of phosphorus.
