Busselton (South Wetlands)
Outfall

Busselton ocean outfall accommodates one wastewater treatment plant (Busselton No. 1) and serves the City of Busselton area. Approximately 6.75 ML of treated effluent is discharged daily from the treatment plant to either the Northern engineered wetland or to the clay lined holding pond (reuse off-take) pending discharge to the Southern engineered wetland. The effluent from both engineered wetlands is discharged to the Vasse Sub A Drain through gauged and monitored discharge points which later will be released into the Geographe Bay.
