<strong>Bannockburn</strong> <strong>Town</strong> <strong>Centre</strong> <strong>Investment</strong> <strong>Strategy</strong> <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>Plains</strong> <strong>Shire</strong> Council<br />

2.6 Infrastructure<br />

2.6.1 Sewer<br />

South of the railway line, the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>Centre</strong> and surrounding residential areas are connected to a<br />

reticulated sewer system. Although additional works will be required to connect the future residential<br />

areas west of Wabdallah Reserve, this system is capable of supporting the projected residential<br />

expansion of the town. Sewer precinct plans are shown in Figure 5. Most of the low density residential<br />

areas to the north and east of <strong>Bannockburn</strong> are without sewer.<br />

Figure 5 Existing sewerage system<br />

There are three sewer pump stations in <strong>Bannockburn</strong>. One is located on the Shelford-<strong>Bannockburn</strong><br />

Road, near the creek crossing. The second is on Charlton Road, adjacent to the cemetery. The third is<br />

in the new industrial estate on Holder Road, just off Shelford-<strong>Bannockburn</strong> Road (refer Figure 5).<br />

2.6.2 Water<br />

Treated water for <strong>Bannockburn</strong> and district is supplied from the Moorabool Water Treatment Plant, via<br />

the She Oaks Pipeline to the <strong>Bannockburn</strong> Basin. Water can also be transferred from the Montpellier<br />

Basins if required. All water for <strong>Bannockburn</strong> and district customers is pumped from the <strong>Bannockburn</strong><br />

Basin in Milton Street.<br />

2.6.3 Drainage<br />

Discussions with Council have indicated that the township area to the west of High Street has existing<br />

underground drainage that mostly discharges toward Bruce’s Creek. There is concern over the need to<br />

protect this catchment prior to discharging into the creek.<br />

The township area to the east of High Street has no existing underground drainage or easement<br />

drains. Stormwater run off is collected in table drains that run alongside the road pavement.<br />
