Woodford Island Wastewater Treatment Plant, Woodford, Queensland

Woodford Island wastewater treatment plant is located in Woodford, a town in the City of Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia. The plant serves a population of about 5,877 residents, placing it in the small to medium agglomeration category. It is currently operational and forms part of the region's municipal wastewater infrastructure. As an Australian facility, the plant operates under the national regulatory framework administered by the Queensland Department of Environment and Science. The designed capacity of 1.00 million liters per day indicates the plant's intended throughput. The plant discharges treated wastewater into the local catchment, which ultimately drains into the Brisbane River system and Moreton Bay. This coastal environment supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological area. The plant's operations contribute to protecting water quality in the downstream waterways and the bay.

The plant's treated effluent enters the local drainage network, which flows into the Brisbane River and eventually reaches Moreton Bay, a large coastal embayment. Moreton Bay supports seagrass meadows, mangroves, and diverse marine species, making it ecologically sensitive. The plant's discharge management is crucial for maintaining water quality in this downstream environment.
