BetaBetaDataset
To provide the spatial locations of Australia's known wastewater treatment plants.
The purpose of the National Wastewater Treatment Plants Database is to support decision makers from industry, governments and other interested parties make better, and more informed decisions based on evidence based information.
The operation status of wastewater treatment plants, and their latitudes and longitudes
The data is sourced from the Water Services Association of Australia (WSAA). The treatment plant datasets were digitized and constructed in 2011-2012 from aerial photography, orthophotos and satellite imagery held within Geoscience Australia. Image resolution ranged from 0.15m to 2.5m. A list of treatment plants with names and addresses was obtained from the Association. Further data was obtained from publicly available information sourced from State and Local Government websites and from Water Authorities wastewater treatment plant websites.
