Upgraded Boat Sewage Pumpout Station Operational
The Wentworth Effluent Disposal Station has been upgraded by Wentworth Shire Council and is now operational in readiness for the busy Easter period. The Station was co-funded by NSW Boating Now.
The Station is controlled via a Smart Fill unit and will require a $1.00 “tap and go” charge to activate the pump for each boat sewage pumpout. This charge is applicable for the initial trial period only.
Council thanks the Wentworth boating community for their patience during this important upgrade.

Flood Experience Survey
Were you affected by flooding between August 2022 and March 2023? Natural Hazards Research Australia currently has an online survey looking for the Wentworth Shire community to share their flood experiences. Submissions also have the chance to win one of ten $150 Woolworths vouchers.
Every story is important as there were a wide range of flood impacts. Not everyone who was affected will have had water in their home or business. You may have chosen to spend the night away due to flood concerns, or perhaps your access roads were cut off by floodwaters and you were isolated for a period of time – all of these experiences are relevant.
Be part of improving preparedness and response for floods and reduce future flood risk.
This independent research is conducted by Natural Hazards Research Australia with RMIT, Macquarie University, Monash University and will aid in improving community safety and resilience in future floods.
