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 />
