Dexus pumped with water innovation

DEXUS Property Group has signed an innovative agreement with Boral to provide stormwater harvesting and ground water facilities to the Cumberland Country Golf Club.

The stormwater will be piped from Dexus’ new 47.4 hectare industrial development site in Greystanes New South Wales.

“The project will primarily support the Cumberland Country Golf Club but we will also make the recycled water available for the irrigation of local community needs such as Greystanes Public School grounds and selected public parks,” Chief executive Victor Hoog Antink said.

Under the agreement, it is anticipated that approximately 150 megalitres of stormwater and ground water from the 70 hectare site will be collected each year and provided to the adjacent Golf Club. The harvested water will be used to water the Club greens and replaces the current system, where recycled water is delivered to the Club in tankers.

The initiative was developed in consultation with the Department of Planning, Holroyd City Council, Sydney Water, Department of Water and Energy, TAFE NSW, Greystanes Public School and Fairfield City Council. This project is also supported by the NSW Government Water Savings Fund.
