Rosedale WWTP provides primary, secondary and advanced treatment of
effluent for a population of approximately 220,000.
The treatment plant opened in September 1962 to serve the
Shore's 60,000 residents. With the Shore's population now in excess
of 220,000, the plant has been continually upgraded over the
decades - embracing new technologies and methods to treat
wastewater.
The treatment plant and outfall are owned, operated and
maintained by North Shore City Council. The original design of the
nutrient removal system was done by URS and the UV system was
supplied by Wedeco. Tunneltech and United Networks and a number of
local construction firms are also involved in various aspects of
the project work. The maintenance contractor is Techscape.
The Rosedale Wastewater Treatment Plant is located at the end of
Jack Hinton Drive, off Rosedale Rd.
Sewage treatment, or domestic wastewater treatment, is the
process of removing contaminants from wastewater and household
sewage, both runoff (effluents) and domestic. It includes physical,
chemical, and biological processes to remove physical, chemical and
biological contaminants. Its objective is to produce a waste stream
(or treated effluent) and a solid waste or sludge suitable for
discharge or reuse back into the environment. This material is
often inadvertently contaminated with many toxic organic and
inorganic compounds.

compound, but also the enterance to Rosedale Park, which has
hockey, soccer and softball fields.
