The Pumping Station pumps the wastewater through a rising main to the south along the Powis Street reserve then to the Nimmitabel Wastewater Treatment Facility. A failure of the Nimmitabel Wastewater Pumping Station No 2 has the potential to cause major environmental harm, to impact on an unnamed non- perennial water course but with insignificant public health consequences. Whilst the facility has physical containment and pollution control measures in place that will minimise the risk of a pollution incident occurring, it is recognised that there are residual risks of spillage / discharge an unnamed non- perennial water course that could have major environmental consequences.

  • Newsletter January 2017
    Newsletter January 2017 Our Mission Statement: We wish to put the disused Monaro rail way line to productive use as a recreational trail for cycling and in doing so boost tourism, the economy and the well being of the region. At the same time, we wish to preserve the old rail buildings, bridges and the tunnel that are part of the Monaro rail history. Rail trails in NSW All rail trail proposals in NSW are likely to follow a development pathway set by a pilot case at Tumbarumba. Although the Tumbarumba case has been approved, an essential key step before it can move forward is for the NSW Govt to pass legislation to formally close the line and allow the rails to be lifted. Tim Coen, Rail Trails for NSW, believes this legislation may go before parliament in February. However, it may not be blanket legislation to cover all disused lines in NSW and every rail trail proposal will need this same legislative approval. The NSW National Party is considered to be supportive of rail trails and with John Barilaro, the NSW member for Eden Monaro and now National Party leader, our project may find some sympathetic ears when its turn for assessment arrives. In the meantime, we continue to inform and seek support. In particular, we plan to involve the ACT Govt in our discussions as the first stage of our proposed development is to open up the Queanbeyan to Michelago segment of the corridor. See the story on page 2. Also, this year we hope to fund a consultant to build the business case.
