Declaration order

On March 21, 1996, the Minister, with the concurrence of Cabinet, approved a declaration order providing for the activities of the design, construction and operation of the Western Beaches Storage Tunnel. This undertaking is intended to improve the quality of the water discharged into the Western Beaches, which was previously degraded due to the continued discharge of untreated sewage combined with stormwater during heavy rains.
