The Smiths Beach Story

Smiths Beach’s New Sewage Plant

A map of the Smiths Beach Development as presented by the developer showing the plans for sewage to be disposed over the entire site from the sewage site at the top of Smiths Beach hill in Yallingup.

All commercial and residential sewage will be disposed onsite despite the current approval requiring a connection to mains sewer in Dunsborough, an numerous reports highlighting the serious environmental risks.

Onsite sewage disposal ’is unsustainable in the longterm’ & that there is ‘Not sufficient land area for treated wastewater reuse/disposal'. Water Corporation WA .

Onsite sewage disposal will permanently change the soil profile, impact groundwater & natural soaks, impact reliant vegetation and fauna, have adverse impacts on marine communities, water quality and human health. Past Water Corp & Consultant studies have shown the area is unsuitable for onsite sewage disposal because of soil types, shallow soils, stormwater flows and proximity to the Ngari Capes Marine Park.
