Relevant projects
Keppel Sands Caravan Park: Livingstone Shire Council
Arris designed, constructed and maintains a Rhizopod® system for the treatment and dispersal of on-site wastewater at the Keppel Sands Caravan Park. The system is designed to manage a peak flow of 20 kL/day. The no-release nature of the system prevents any run-off from entering the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority.
Great Keppel Island Hideaway
Arris provided the resort assistance with the drinking water system, the sewage treatment plant and the recycled water management system. This includes obtaining the necessary permits and planning permissions required for water treatment infrastructure in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. The work involves the installation of new equipment, the maintenance and repair of existing equipment and the regulatory monitoring of the engineered water cycle.
Breeze Holiday Parks
Breeze owns holiday parks across Australia. Arris is working on drinking water, sewage treatment plants and recycled water dispersal systems in multiple Breeze parks in Queensland, Victoria and the Northern Territory. This includes the installation of new water treatment infrastructure, the operation and maintenance of existing water treatment installations and the design and regulatory approvals required for park expansions.
Wilderness Lodge Carnarvon Gorge
The original installers of the drinking water and wastewater treatment plant at this site ceased operations. Arris was employed to bring the water infrastructure at the site back into regulatory compliance, make repairs/replacements where required and to provide ongoing operational support.
Woodfordia STP (2009–Present)
Operates during festivals at the Woodford Folk Festival site, treating high-strength wastewater in a batching treatment plant. The plant handles an average flow of 1.5 ML/day and has been upgraded to accommodate increased site demands. The Woodford Folk Festival Engineered Water Cycle was shortlisted as a finalist in the 2024 Australian Water Association Queensland Water Awards for the Infrastructure Project Innovation Award (Metro). This recognition highlights Arris’s commitment to excellence and innovation in the water sector.
Sunrise at 1770 STP (2007–Present)
A batching plant treating wastewater from a 192 lot eco-development, with a peak flow of 250kL/day. The treated water meets Class A+ standards and is reused within properties for toilet flushing and laundry use.
WestSide Corporation Coal Seam Gas Water Treatment (2013–Present)
Designed to treat varying groundwater quality due to changing well conditions in the coal seam gas industry. Specialised treatment is required for water with high salinity, SAR and total suspended solids, ensuring effective and sustainable management.
OZ Minerals/BHP mining camp wastewater and recycling system (2021 – Present)
Arris designed, obtained regulatory approval, and managed the construction of a 6132 m2 ABSORBS Filter to treat 275 kL of mining camp wastewater. The system is a passive treatment for advanced secondary quality effluent with multi-barrier disinfection. The treated wastewater is compliant with WA Health radium risk reuse, fit for process water, dust suppression, amenity irrigation and food crops where water does not come in contact with the food.
