Rottnest Island: New Development Impact On Utilities
7. CONCLUSIONS
The Mount Herschel development will have an impact on the island utilities and the following items will need to be considered.
· Investigation into the existing electrical network to establish if the network is capable of transmitting the increased load to Mount Herschel.
· Installation of a separate high voltage feeder from the power station to the Mount Herschel site and upgrade of the settlement feeder to create a High Voltage ring from the north section of the island.
· Relocate and redesign the power station to meet the future demands of undertake an investigation into supplying the island with mainland power.
· Redevelop the electrical high voltage network particularly within the settlement areas of the island.
· Installation of a new sewage pumping station either for the Mount Herschel development or upgrade the existing Geordie Bay and Longreach pumping station to incorporate the outflow from both the hotel and existing facilities.
· Installation of a new dedicated potable water gravity feed to the Mt Herschel development. The current water production system will meet the new developments demand by a combination of desalination production and storage.
· The sewage treatment plant can process the outflow from the new Mt Herschel development.
· The South Tompson (sic) bay will have a very low impact on the utilities.
