It also defines the legal requirements for the project and identifies the regulatory permits and licences required for construction activities.

Housing Accord

Accommodating the Victorian Desalination Project workforce, while maintaining the availability and affordability of long-term rental properties and seasonal tourist accommodation in the Bass Coast region is a significant focus for us. AquaSure and its design and construction contractor, Thiess Degrémont, have been working with Bass Coast Shire Council and local real estate agents on this challenge. Together, we have developed the Victorian Desalination Project Housing Accord
