We will resume tours at the Upper Yarra Sewage Treatment Plant in Term 4, 2023! Our morning session is usually 10.30 - noon, and the afternoon session 12.30 - 2 pm.
At this Yarra Valley Water site, students learn how our waste water is cleaned and discharged into the wetlands and Yarra River. The tour covers sources of our waste water, the treatment process, how to reduce our amount, what not to put into the system, discharge and recycling options, plus a visit to the wetlands if time permits. Parts of this site have been revegetated for future Helmeted Honeyeater and Lowland Leadbeater's Possum habitat.
Cost: from $12 + GST per student, 90 minute tour. Minimum number 20 students. Suitable for Grade 3 and above.
