Project update – May 2025

Progress continues across multiple fronts of the Eyre Peninsula desalination project.

SA Power Networks has begun cable installation from the Port Lincoln substation to Billy Lights Point, including works along key streets and near the wastewater treatment plant, with traffic management and some night works planned.

On site, early works include temporary fencing, vegetation clearance, and the setup of site access and facilities to prepare for major construction. Design of the transfer pipeline to the Northside Hill storage tanks is well advanced, with geotechnical investigations completed to support the route. Community engagement remains a priority, with recent outreach at local events and ongoing efforts to promote water security and efficiency.
