About the plant
The Sunshine Coast Regional District supplies water to roughly 23,000 residents on the Sunshine Coast, with over 85 percent of this water coming from Chapman Creek.
The new water treatment plant is adjacent to the existing Selma Park Zone 2 reservoir.
The Chapman Creek Water Treatment Plant was commissioned in March 2004, supplying water to Sunshine Coast residents and visitors.
