Monterey Recycled Water Scheme
We’re preserving precious drinking water supplies by bringing recycled water to Frankston North for use at multiple Frankston City Council sporting facilities and the National Golf Club.
We’re developing a new pipeline to deliver Class A recycled water to 4 sites in Frankston North, including local football, cricket and soccer grounds and The National Golf Course - Long Island. By supplying recycled water to local sporting grounds and a world class golf course, the scheme will help preserve drinking water supply, regardless of changing climate conditions. The project will cost approximately $5 million of which the Victorian Government has committed $1,332,500. The rest will be funded by South East Water and customers of the scheme, which include Frankston City Council and the National Golf Club.
With some upcoming works in Frankston North you might see us or our contractor ABK around. Here’s what to expect while we get the job done.

Recycled water is ideal for irrigating some of those places we all enjoy as Melburnians, like sports grounds, parks and public spaces.
We also provide recycled water to a range of businesses such as market gardens, wineries, golf courses, turf farms, fodder production, wholesale nurseries, commercial laundries and for sand mining.
The high-quality recycled water for the scheme will come from Melbourne Water's Eastern Treatment Plant. You can find out more about the plant here.
The recycled water will be supplied to local football, cricket and soccer grounds at Eric Bell Reserve, Monterey Soccer Fields, Pat Rollo Reserve, as well as The National Golf Club - Long Island.
