The Gippsland Water Factory will be an innovative wastewater treatment and recycling system located in the Gippsland region of Victoria. The system will treat up to 35 million litres of domestic and industrial wastewater daily, and provide around 8 million litres of high quality recycled water each day for use by local industry.

An interpretive centre is planned as part of the Gippsland Water Factory that will showcase the wastewater treatment technology and act as an education resource to the community.

The Gippsland Water Factory will be the first of its kind in Australia, highlighting Gippsland as a leader in sustainability and innovation. The project will deliver a range of benefits for the Gippsland region including addressing the odour currently created by the open channel section of the Regional Outfall Sewer.

The recycled water will benefit local industry, the environment and the community. The wastewater treatment processes that will be used at the Gippsland Water Factory will involve ground-breaking technology that has been tested in local conditions.

Construction of the Gippsland Water Factory is expected to start at the end of 2006. The target date for commissioning or initial testing of the facility is estimated to be in late 2008. Commercial handover to Gippsland Water is expected by mid 2010.
