Gold Coast Desalination Plant
The Gold Coast desalination plant is a reverse osmosis, water desalination plant that supplies water to the Gold Coast and South East Queensland via the South East Queensland Water Grid, located in Tugun.
After investigations by the Gold Coast Desalination Alliance, the Gold Coast City Council chose Tugun as the most suitable site for the desalination plant. The cost is expected to be in excess of $1 billion. The GCD Alliance consists of Veolia Water, John Holland Group, and SureSmart Water, representing the State of Queensland.
Initial plans were for a $260 million plant producing 55 megalitres a day. The State Government then contributed $869 million to increase the output to 125 megalitres a day to share with the rest of southeast Queensland. There is potential to increase output to 167 megalitres a day, however the plant is currently a reserve site on the Queensland Water Commission's list of possible sites for future desalination plants. Lytton and either Marcoola or Bribie Island are the priority sites.
==Defects==
In January 2009, rust and valve problems delayed the plant's opening.〔(Rust halts progress on Tugun desalination plant ) ABC News 2009-01-13〕 The plant began operations in February 2009 and has been operating according to grid instructions since that time, except for a five-week shutdown in May 2009 and a three-month shutdown from June to August 2010 to repair previously identified defects. During the initial shutdown a formal investigation of these problems was undertaken.〔(Desal plant probe 'to reveal extent of problems' ) ABC News 2009-05-20〕 In June 2009 some further faults were identified, all bar one of which have now been rectified with the final piece of work to be completed by the end of August 2010. These defects do not affect the plant's ability to produce clean safe water but had implications for its long term viability. The Queensland Government has refused to accept ownership of the plant until all problems are rectified.
