9.12.2 What Are the Issues?
The issues associated with the landscape and water management systems can be
classified into environmental, social and water infrastructure performance. These issues are
discussed below.
Environmental and Social Issues
Wagonga Inlet contains oyster leases. The discharge of sewage and stormwater
runoff to the environment poses not only a risk to public health but a risk also of
productivity loss to the oyster industry,
The community perception is that the treatment works discharges to the adjacent
lake, whereas the effluent is actually discharged into the ocean,
Overflow may occur from pump stations during power outages,
There is a history of community complaints about odours from the inlet works of the
STP.
