A Multiplex and Degremont joint venture would build a seawater
desalination plant in the southern suburb of Kwinana, boosting the
city's water supply by 45 gigalitres a year, Premier Geoff Gallop
said.
The cost of the plant had increased by $41 million to $387 million
since the project was announced in July 2004.
The plant was expected to be completed by October next year,
becoming the biggest single source feeding into Perth's water
supply system.
The WA Water Corporation-owned facility would be powered by
renewable energy, with a wind farm the most likely source, Dr
Gallop said.
