The cost option for this is estimated as:<br />

WWTP / Lagoon Option<br />

2<br />

Subsidy $3,003,282<br />

<strong>Council</strong><br />

Contribution<br />

$2,047,964<br />

Total Project Cost $5,051,246<br />

Note that this would require <strong>Council</strong> to borrow over $2M to fund the difference between the<br />

total capital construction costs and the fixed “offered” subsidy. Over the 137 connections this<br />

would not be a self-funded level of debt without a significant uplift in service fee / connection<br />

cost and is assessed as unviable.<br />

The second alternate option is to site the lagoon and WWTP on the hillside situated to the<br />

west of Cheopis Street. The infrastructure is situated on land owned by one individual and is<br />

largely zoned primary production. There would be the need to acquire some land zoned<br />

residential on the hill-face to the north / north-west of the lagoon site and also enter into land<br />

management agreements restricting the development potential of around 3ha of land zoned<br />

residential – the greater balance of land required for either infrastructure or buffer zone is<br />

zoned primary production.<br />
