Wyndham council has awarded a $1.76 million contract for construction of a 22 megalitre stormwater harvesting and irrigation reuse system at Arndell Park, Truganina to G&S Fortunato Group Pty Ltd. Construction of the facility, which is the centrepiece of the Greening the Pipeline project, is expected to begin next month. Wyndham mayor Adele Hegedich said that once complete, the system would provide a sustainable source of irrigation for the redevelopment of parkland along the Federation Trail by using recycled stormwater to feed more than 6000 trees and 80,000 square metres of garden beds and lawn area.
