Interesting Facts
Our vision is that the Far North's coastal marine, river waters and lakes are healthy at all times, so that they support healthy marine and freshwater ecosystems, recreational use, fishing and shellfisheries.Our sewage treatment plants, pumping stations and reticulation systems contribute to that by controlling the quality of effluent and minimising the risk of sewage overflows and spills.
Our work programme is driven by community expectations about the quality of our environment and the need for sustainability - reducing our overall impact on the environment both now and in the future.
The sewerage function is regarded as one of the core functions of Council. This is confirmed by statute - the Local Government Act 2002 generally requires the continued operation of any sewerage system that Council operated at the time the Act was passed, and continued operation of any new system that the Council constructs from that date.
