A NEW pipeline will deliver 73 megalitres of recycled water a year to open space areas in Frankston North.

The new pipeline will run past the Long Island National Golf Club, Eric Bell Reserve, Monterey Soccer Fields, and Pat Rollo Reserve.

The state government announced it would spend $1.3 million on the project, titled the Monterey Recycled Water Scheme, last week. The total cost of the project is expected to be $4 million, with funding also coming from South East Water, Frankston Council, and the Long Island National Golf Club.

Victorian water minister Harriet Shing visited Frankston North last week to make the announcement. She said “investment in recycled water infrastructure will deliver a secure water supply for open spaces to remain green during dry spells – creating better recreational outcomes for local communities.”

“Building the new pipeline will diversify our water sources, helping to secure sustainable water supplies for our growing population,” she said.

Frankston mayor Nathan Conroy welcomed the announcement. He said the “Monterey Recycled Water Scheme demonstrates council’s commitment towards delivering more efficient and sustainable water sources to recreation reserves and open spaces.”

“We are thrilled to be working with the Victorian government and key stakeholders towards the irrigation of local parklands, reserves and sports grounds in Frankston City through this joint investment,” he said. “Saving our precious drinking water is essential to building community resilience and will ensure our community has ongoing access to green open spaces and outdoor recreational opportunities all year round.”

Recycled water from the pipeline is expected to be used at the green spaces in late 2024.
