Brisbane Waters is used for a wide variety of purposes including recreational and commercial boating, recreational and commercial fishing and aquaculture. The direct discharge of raw sewerage by boats into Brisbane Waters contributes to disease causing organisms, presents a hazard to swimming and other water uses. The protection and improvement of Brisbane Waters is of utmost importance and the installation of this Sewage Pump Out facility helps stop discharge of untreated sewerage into Hardy’s Bay, which in turn improves the water quality of Brisbane Waters.

Killcare Marina are pleased to be able to provide this FREE sewage pump out system for boaters to help the environment. The facility has been installed in conjunction with Gosford City Council. 

This pump-out system is proposed to allow boat users to pump sewage and marine waste from their boats when they arrive back at shore without having to release it into open water, which is against clean water regulations.

It caters for vessels with on-board holding tanks, with or without their own on board pump and for vessels with chemical toilets (porta potties).

Providing sewerage pump out facilities at marinas significantly reduces the harmful effects of directly discharging sewage from boats into the water. Co-locating the facility with other services allows for the constant supervision of the facility by experienced marine equipment operator.
